Ah, Monday morning and the whole working week’s spread out before me.

I really don’t mind work although if they’d send me a pay cheque for staying home I’d be quite willing to accept that as well.

Dramatic extremes of weather in Australia over the weekend. Here in Tasmania we have had overnight temperatures down below 10o C and a forecast of highland snow in the west of the State with the next front. This is summer !!!!

Just to prove it, at the other end of the continent Brisbane which is the State capital of Queensland had 41.5o C on Saturday followed by 41.7o C on Sunday. That’s about 110o F in the old money. 85% humidity on top of the heat would have been unbearable. Today it's only going to be 38o C 100o F so they'll probably all freeze.

Meanwhile across the Tasman, New Zealand is suffering high wind and flooding.

Methinks I’ll stay in Tassie.

My wife spent Sunday afternoon baking a new batch of biscuits with our latest batch of Rye flour. Stocks were running low.

Isn’t she a darling looking after me like she does.
