Home again – still trying to sort my sleeping pattern out – for some reason or another my brain thinks 4am is waking time lol
Kiera came home from the cattery and hasn’t left my side –Â the washing is all done – ironed and put away – must be a record for me!
Everything is so green – so very different to when we left in late August. There are leaves on all the trees who shed them including next door’s big oak tree and the some of the roses are actually blooming. The foliage of the winter bulbs is hidden by the rose foliage – which means they can rest and die down peacefully till spring next year.

The weather was great for the first couple of days we were home – sunny and warm and then the winds picked up and picked up some more to gale force and the rain started which meant Victoria has been through a couple of days of rather nasty weather more in keeping with winter than spring. This link is for inland today but could also have been for the city and suburbs yesterday –   http://www.abc.net.au/melbourne/weather/warnings.htm
Roofs off – trees down – some of them onto houses and cars – some over roads which has caused more problems. And the temperature has plummeted so bang goes my idea of not turning the heating on again 😦
We had fun, shed a few tears and gained a few kilos – I’ll tell you about it another day
Bye for now
