it is bloody freezing here - snow on the ground first thing but its gone now. We're just back from the walk where we saw a grand total of not one person; I must have looked a sight complete with not only the Aztec hat but also scarf wound around several times, so perhaps any potential venture-outers spotted us & balked at the idea.
Can't say I'd blame them.
In the wee small hours there was an almighty bang, it sounded a bit like a noise the other week when someone ran into a neighbour's fence so didn't take much notice of it. But when I got up this morning, there was a bloody great tree lying across the back neighbours garage/sleepout. It was a very tall eucalyptus - which I'd looked at a few times & hoped it never decided to fall since I was sure it would reach here, very thankful it didn't after all.
Sun's out now but that wind's still about, wish it would beetle off elsewhere. Hoping for fine & warmer weather tomorrow so i can mow back lawn & do a dash to the library to pick up the book.
Presently reading Goldilocks & really enjoying it, but sci fi so maybe not everyone's cup of tea..

in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
