February

What a difference in the weather - hot, hot, hot for 10 days ............... world cup cricket, beach walks and doing 12,000 steps a day.  Enjoyed the Tour down Under last month and now we have a month of cricket!

wet, wet, wet

At least the fires are out but 100 - 200 mm of rain is a bit much. Thankfully we are only due to get 30mm (still over 1") in a short space of time in the Metropolitan area.  No wonder our poor atrium is leaking like a sieve!  Looks like the cricket will be off tonight and the trip to the beach with the girls planned for tomorrow will have to wait for another day.

hot, hot, hot

Was 44 but a cooler 38 today.  Praying that the predicted rains in the north will reach us soon and help damp down the terrible bush fires.  The fire front covers over 100 miles and extends through the Adelaide Hills.  Kersbrook has been badly affected and Gumeracha had a near miss.  Luckily the giant rocking horse is still standing but we're not out of the woods yet.

NYD

Quick trip to Rundel Mall to get a battery for my Fitbit - all the local shops were closed.  Ended up doing a guided tour of the museum for nearly 2 hours.  Tomorrow's going to be another scorcher so probably a trip to the beach before breakfast for a swim then off to the cinema to see Benedict Cumberbatch's new film

Happy New Year

Saw the New Year in with the Big Bash at the Oval, a short Rock Concert and fireworks

Wine tasting

We are currently working our way around the 60 or so Cellar Doors in McLaren Vale and had a great time at Samuels Gorge, Coriole, Primo and Battle of Bosworth
