Bushfires, New Years, smoke hazards, Record HOT days,cooling down, tennis and cricket..
It's summer!
Finding new flowers blooming
eating yummy tropical mangoes
and yummy stone fruit
starting a new healthy diet
Fun with kids and family
Unpacking boxes
Enjoying 30 degrees Celsius after 42 degrees Celsius!
Enjoying an overhead fan instead of an air-conditioner!
Enjoying less smoke haze than last night
after the record breaking heatwave blew away in a gusty south easterly change!
Summer days and nights of watching cricket, and tennis
swimming to cool off and exercise
Enjoying a new church
new people...
Forgive generously
Love extravagantly
Live Abundantly.
(words taken from the end of the Anglican church service).






Comments
Was talking to a young man from New Zealand who lives here, and he was tiring of the hot weather, and was inclined to think it is easier to warm up when you are cold, than cool down when it is too hot!
I think the threat of bush fires are the scary/scariest parts.
It is also hard to find a balance between turning on the air conditioners and not. Much easier to decide when there are babies to keep cool!
