the sky is falling

as per yewshall I'm down to my last bit of week and squeezing in a bit of bloggery.  no newsy news up our end - working lots and watching australians participate in some sports thingy (apparently other countries are involved but we haven't seen any).  red letter day today, though - as follows:

snowed ten minutes up the road last night. melted now, a'course, but fact remains.  20 minutes further up, it's blanket coverage. I gather similar conditions are blessing the entire east coast at the minute. mexican relations tell me it's blizzardy and nippier than a nun's undies, and report from pals on the piste is non-stop powder falling - horizontally!

anyway, kids'll be met this afternoon with parkas/beanies/gloves for some after school snowbloke buildage and general carousing in the white stuff.  we should get an hour or so in before we lose the light.  home to a glass of rouge ordinnaire and a toasty fire .... ahhhh, bliss!

catch yooz next week.  hopefully with all ten toes intact.  -2 mornings here, and top temp in the hills of 5. balmy :)

  3. don't let those housemates deceive you that it's come summer here, though. You'll not find a Queenslander in their right mind wearing togs in August.
