Our week has been like this
Cool Cloudy Cold even
Warmish at times Wet to very wet at other times.
If the sun shone it was a welcome change to the dull days
Tuesday was forecast to be dry and sunny so an executive decision made it sheet change day – yes, that’s the day I wrote about on Wednesday, the day when we went out and about and then I was faced with making bed late in the evening.
Anyway as we’re over half way through spring, each time a warmish day/night has turned up I’ve contemplated changing back to summer cotton sheets, then looked at the upcoming overnight forecasts and decided ‘No, we’ll stick with the warm and cosy ones I told you all about a couple of years ago.
Here in my outer east foothills suburb Tuesday’s o/night was 3c/37f – Wednesday was the same – Thursday 5c/41f…..whatever way you look at it it was cool chilly or if you think like me ‘down right cold’.
Good thinking Catherine!
Tonight’s forecast is for similar so Warm and Cosy is the way to go for a little while longer I think😊
Highlight of the week was lunch at Healesville – a belated birthday lunch for us both – not on sunny Tuesday but a cloudy wet Monday
No food photos but one from the upstairs lounge

Last September the BOM declared that our three wet years of La Niña were over and we were now in El Niño phase – very dry hot days ahead. Even though we whinge a bit because we’re a little chilly at the moment and it would be nice if it was warmer, there were some very hot days (almost heatwave conditions) last month, and four states have experienced bush fires already so it’s definitely not looking too good for our summer

The Nino and the Nina saeem to have numerous brothers and sisters to judge by their almost omnipresence in the weather forecasts. Bucketing down here….again.

We’ve had an unnaturally mild autumn thus far… though the past two days have promised some cold on the way. Tonight was the first use of the heating for this season, though if I am honest, that was only because I have a visitor who feels the cold more than I do. I much prefer to rug up with layers… YAM xx

What a lovely view in that photograph. While in the northern hemisphere we are heading into full -blown autumn, the temperatures do swing back and forth. Some nights it’s still light weight pajamas and other nights I need the warmer ones. I hope the fire season isn’t too severe.

It’s just been hot here in Hawaii. I would love some cooler weather.

I wonder, I wonder, how your summer will be, how much wood we will need this winter. Weather cones around and goes around. It’s still lovely weather here. Nice warm days and damp nights. Lots of dew.
We go onto winter time tonight. It will mean early evenings which I don’t like. Wish they would stop these time changes
