A couple of hours into a dull and damp Thorsday's afternoon the mercury here is battling to stay at 13C (feels like 9C) so I guess that the 15C forecasted max is out of park today as the lite showers over the last few hours look to turn back into rain again shortly.

At least it's dryly nice and warm inside.

Cheers.

Evening has fallen into a gentle warm breeze under a misty sky...

And time flies like an arrow...

Winning on a Good Friday morning after doing my rounds about the village.

Well I dumped 23.5mm out of the rain gauge this morning taking the month's total to 61.5mm blowing past our long term average for this month (which is 55mm) with more rain due again in a few days. :-(

Anyhow it must be time for my 2nd coffee of the morning.

Cheers.

Starting to get some splashes of sunshine about here now getting us up to 14C (feels like 10C), but I could do without that wind.

Cheers.

I'm just watching the last of the sunlight fade away from a very ordinary while considering what I'll have for dinner.

I'm watching an otherworldly skyscape of three layers of clouds pealing back to reveal a new horizon...

Very cinematic but for real!

All under a chilly clear sky resplendent with piercingly bright stars and a blinding silver white crescent moon.

The early morning may yet be even more picturesque with an added shimmer of frost...

Enjoy!

We still have 2 weeks to go until the chance of frosts here drop right off. It's now a sunny 18C outside and out of the gale that's blowing here, but being in it feels like 12C.

If it wasn't for that wind I'd be out planing a little bit more of the drainage end of my trench so that it fully drains, but my back is just coming good after mowing the other day and that wind would soon have me locked up.

Anyhow LLB is fast and I still have a couple of things to do yet. ;-)

Cheers.

Winning on a calm Sunday morning, but that wind is waiting out there somewhere.

What?! It's already Sunday??

But... but...

The sun is nowhere to be seen from here!

Maybe a mere reflection off the moon?...

And it's gone rather chilly. Pity the poor souls freezing their feet off standing out in the Royal Queues in London...

We got off to a 7C (felt like 5C) start here (19C is expected) and we're already up to a sunny 13C (feels like 8C), but that wind is picking up speed again.

Anyhow I'm just enjoying my last coffee break for the morning before burning a few CD's for a mate (he should be here now), then it'll be LLB time at the newly refurbished and open top pub.

Cheers.

Well it was disappointing turning up at the top pub only to find that only meals, coffee and tea is all that's being served ATM because the chippies havn't finished their job yet. :-(

So LLB again happened here in the shed with a few buddies anyway. ;-)

During my other job today I was doing a search through several containers looking for more CDR's (which I found) and came across several laptops which got left here with dead HDD's (their BIOS batteries are likely dead now as well) in them that the owners didn't want to stump up for SSD's at the time to fix (they were clumsy people/kids who killed HDD's really quickly and I got sick of replacing them so it was SSD's or nothing for them) so I might order 2 or 3 SSD's next month and have a play with them (240GB SSD's are just $50aud now and not $150 as back then, but a HDD was $70 back then as well). I know that there are 2 quad core jobs in that lot along with a few dual cores which would be faster than the single core Celeron from 15yrs back that I've been using to show people how Linux works on (and the CD's were burnt off of today), but it's showing it's age now under Linux Mint Cinnamon 20 & now 21. :-)

Anyhow it's almost time to catch up with the weekly agricultural news down under with another beer or 2 while deciding what to have to eat today.

Cheers.
