still nothing much more than a sprinkling of rain here - didn't even wet the ground.

But my boss, who lives about 10km away, had a torrential downpour the other night!

Do you think it's me - am I just toooo dry?

Good day to just hold on tight to something solid.

Quote:
A WILLY-WILLY has terrorised suburban streets, uprooting trees, peeling off roof tiles and causing windows to explode.

The two-minute storm weaved a 200m-wide, 2.5km-long path of damage through the Noble Park North area [in Melbourne] about 9pm on Wednesday.
.......

Chris Earl said he heard "a massive whirlwind coming through", followed by an explosion.

"The wind was so fast, everything was fuzzy," Mr Earl said.

He soon discovered his pergola had been ripped from its fixtures.

A section of fence had also speared through the air, landing next to the window he had been sitting by.


Ah Melbourne, when you can't make it to Fiji in the cyclone season!


Willies are like that.

Likw I always say - mins are evil....

It must be colder this year - poor Possum is feeling the chill more than usual.




It is. After getting up to six blankets again I finally gave in and bought a quilt. Does make making the bed easier though.

making an egrerious connection between a 'willy' (an appendage possessed by males) and the Willy-Willy (ie to the second power) that tried to remove Melbourne off the map. I was also half-pissed.

Yep - goes to show that the only thing that brings more trouble than one willy is two willies.


Willy willies give me the willies.

Hazy Shade of Winter - Paul Simon

Time, time, time, see what's become of me
While I looked around
For my possibilities
I was so hard to please
But look around, leaves are brown
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter

Hear the salvation army band
Down by the riverside, it's bound to be a better ride
Than what you've got planned
Carry your cup in your hand
And look around, leaves are brown now
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter

Hang on to your hopes, my friend
That's an easy thing to say, but if your hopes should pass away
Simply pretend
That you can build them again
Look around, the grass is high
The fields are ripe, it's the springtime of my life

Ahhh, seasons change with the scenery
Weaving time in a tapestry
Won't you stop and remember me
At any convenient time
Funny how my memory slips while looking over manuscripts
Of unpublished rhyme
Drinking my vodka and lime

But look around, leaves are brown now
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter

Look around, leaves are brown
There's a patch of snow on the ground...

Hello, c.i.! Very Happy

Cold? Today in Melbourne we have a predicted top temperature of 13 C. But Melbourne's at the "bottom" of the mainland. The island of Tasmania, the southern-most part of Oz, is even colder. Brrrrrrr. Let's see what happens when winter REALLY gets going! Sad This may not seem that cold to you, but it is to us! We love to whinge about the weather in Melbourne & never seem to be properly prepared for the cold. We're shocked every time! Laughing

You're going to the Antarctic? Is there NO place you haven't been? I am so envious. The closest I'll ever to to there is via the chilly winds from the south on particularly cold days.

Yep - was bloody lovely over the long weekend. Played tennis in t-shirt and shorts - not a great sight - but felt good! This is winter!!!!!!!!!

c..i. - no use querying msolga about weather - they have different weather every few minutes in Melbourne. 10 seasons in one day - minimum!

Too true! We Melbournians don't put our woollies in mothballs for the summer, nor put away our shorts & sandals in the winter ... just in case! Laughing
