Thank you for you for your kind thoughts, Roger Very Happy .... but it's a weird winter, really. Almost no rain. Surprised Winter & drought = sorry looking gardens for city dwellers & utter misery for farmers faraway from where I live.

After the driest and hottest May on record, we are having the wettest June - and it snowed on Mt Lofty last night - with freak storms and the wettest June day on record.

Here in the US we have "climate change". All other people have to put up with global warming.

Still, your nights are beginning to grow shorter.

I think it's fabulous, as do the farmers.

But my roof didn't blow off!

Not at all - I was simply saying that I had no reason to think it anything but fabulous, since I suffered no damage.

Here's a dumb American question, but how cold and wet does it get where you are? A friend of mine is moving to Oz and, except for the little bits I've gleaned here, I know nothing about South East Australia. Do you need snowblowers and salters a'la Maine and Vermont or is it mostly glum skies and the odd snowflake here and there?

Which part of SE Oz is your friend moving too? The state of Victoria, maybe? If so, unless you're in the mountains (well, that's what we call them, anyway! Laughing ) it never snows. Today was 14 C. That's the coldest day in ages. However, there is the wind factor ... it blows in from the Antarctic and creates a bit of misery & cold ears from to to time. I think you'd consider our winters very mild.

Joseph - here in NSW we just pour beers and don't whinge in your ear about the frickin' weather. Your friend deserves better - tell them 'SYDNEY'!!!!
