Dramatic change in weather

Well would you believe it 6 pm this evening it was so cold a water pipe froze less than half an hour after using it, 7.30 pm it was just the same when I took some hay for the horses and could not feel my fingers when I got back, only 10 to 15 minutes at the most, it is now 1 am and I just had to go out to secure a banging door as the wind has got up, and the wind must be coming from a warmer place as the roofs are running with water, and it is almost warm, Rick

Snow melting in the garden the other side of the estuary to you too, Rick

Funny you should say that as it went from being 30C and almost unbearable to being 25C and very humid here today in an hour.
Might have been due to the flight from Melbourne to Sydney.

ps. I don't care how smug you may think I am`or how jealous you may be. This is the first time I have ever been so far from home in winter and I am making the most of it
