Rain on the car is soothing. I remember sitting at a place called The Bluff at Victor Harbour a few years ago with Faith. It had started as a decent day but a storm front came in. We watched it roll in over the sea and sat through it in the car. It was a pretty cool day over all.
It's nice to have some, (rain), in a dry country like Australia and I assume yours is about the same as far as rainfall goes.
Here's what I'm doing right now. Watching a documentary on the Silk Road with Faith and Cleo sleeping on my feet.
Thanks for dropping by this week and sharing a little bit of your weekend with us.
!ENGAGE 25
Bet it was a great experience in that car.
So, I see that Cleo is also your shadow and my shadow Troy sleeps next to my chair here, as this is what we are doing now.
Marian is marking thesis's and Troy is trying to stay warm next to my chair lol.
We have the little transistor radio playing in the background and now and then the sun peeps through the rain clouds!
Seems like a nice little work environment! Cold there too huh? Been 14 here all day, 8 now, so the heater is on.
Cleo is never far from us...I don't mind; She's a good little friend.
Yeah, we are now at 13 but no heater as electricity is expensive here.
Looks like now in spring season, that the winter is back.
Animals are the best judges of people my friend!
Well, you guys and your cold temperatures. The brass monkey is quite safe outside tonight. We are, however, in a cooling trend.
It's darn near sweater weather, I'm thinking.
41c is very similar to our African summer weather Sir Tom and I think you know that some parts in the country here move beyond 50C
We have just , or are trying to say good bye to winter, but it's a battle for supremacy down at the southern tip of the continent.
Up north they are in the late 20s and early 30s already.
We got to 50C a couple of days this summer, which is normal for us. What was abnormal was the pure number of days 43 or higher (our 110f). Phoenix doubled their previous record to something over 40 days. It was a long grind this year.
Much of North America is cooling now, and we have snowbirds arriving regularly (people that winter here and summer in the north). Soon there will be way too many people here and I'll be praying for the hot weather to return. I'm never satisfied :)
Yes, so you guys are also striking records with the strange weather patterns Sir Tom.
2019 was our hottest year on record. They have not done 2020s records yet, only in January again.
People have learned from the examples set by the birds to migrate to warmer areas in the winter lol. Our summer December is around the corner and then there is no parking open at the beaches again, They also swamp this place.
So, I feel for you with all of the people around!
Sam and I had our second 'come now' session of the fall. When there is a high speed desert vehicle in the near neighborhood I want him right by me. Many of those guys drive like they are in the Baja 1000 and I don't want Sam hit. He remembered perfectly from the spring...
Lines. Soon there will be lines everywhere. Sigh.
I apologize, as I have missed this one totally Sir Tom!
Sam? Yes, a sad day when the cowboy racers arrive. People just have no respect for life when they are out to impress others.
I also hate long lines and the standing around feeling helpless, a real tedious situation.
Sweater weather...You sound like my granddad - Loved the hear and at 41C would be saying, hmm, it close to perfect, but another few degrees would be nice... He did it to annoy people. It worked.
Now there's a likely looking weekend. At least as I can remember weekends. I'm old and have a hard time remembering that far back :)
I'm slowly getting there, old, and when I say slowly I mean quickly! 🤣
