Four Seasons in One Day

If you have come across Australia in the news since New Year... then you've probably heard...

  • That we're experiencing FLOODs
  • That we can't play CRICKET
  • That it's warmer than usual (I think it's called LA NINA)
  • That the TENNIS is on
  • That there's been FIRES outside of Perth
  • That Lance Armstrong is around Adelaide riding his BIKE
  • That we're experiencing FLOODs!
I had to put the floods in twice as that's only a few made up headlines of my own since this year started... and that doesn't even cover MY NEWS.... like job, house, family, friends, etc, etc....

Suffice to say that when it doesn't rain it pours... and that the only thing you can expect from the weather in Melbourne, is that the forecast is only an educated guess!  One of my resident's at work even told me it's been likened to New York?!?!

I prefer our own Home-grown Melbourne pop version... and apologies to anyone who disapproves of bad language.  This band, Crowded House wrote this song a little bit about the town that they were formed in.  Now days the Lead Singer, Neil Finn, is back and forth from New Zealand.  The Drummer, Paul Hester, died a couple of years ago, and the Bass player, Nick Seymour, is still with the band along with Neil and a couple of other "newies".  If you're interested in their sound check out more about the band in the link.

Here in Melbourne tonight it is a clear starry sky, with a bright, full moon and some high cirrus clouds.  We've had a couple of fairly cool (low 20 degrees C) days, but the forecast is for warmer (moister) weather leading up to the weekend!

The only thing that stays the same is that I love to sing!  Tonight it's "moon" songs again... like "How High The Moon" or "Fly Me to the Moon"... maybe "Moon dance"... whichever song I sing.... I eventually come back to some kind of lullaby... or it will be AWFULLY hard to get up when my alarm goes off in the morning!

Guten-nacht.... iio tenki desu ne? (Goodnight... it's a nice day, isn't it?) xo xo xo xo

Hi Darling, We are both trying hard to blog and keep up with the friends who want us to blog!! It is Friday night and we have just finished our fish and chips. Didn't go down the beach. I was too tired and we had drinks after work, that was fun. Have fun! Love, Mum xo
