Winter

It's taken a while to get back into the groove of warm days and cool nights. It's been pretty chilly from time to time in the nether hours.

The jet lag took about a week to get over. Then the colds arrived. There have been various coughs and sniffles.

But not a drop of rain had fallen whilst we were away and only three drops have fallen since then.

Although whilst those three drops were falling, we were at the Ekka and a load more rain dropped there I can tell you.

Still it doesn't seem that long since we've been back and yet at the same time it feels like ages. James and Jane might even be back by now from the Honey Moon where they've been staying. I imagine it would take a long time to get back from such a distant place. A package is on its way to you.

And I suppose we've been up to a fair bit. The Ekka, which you'll recall is the Queensland Agricultural Show (it blows the Suffolk Show out of the water) was appreciated much more by Eloise this year with the animals and sideshow alley.

Together with all the other stuff we haven't been hanging around here much anyway.
