Winter is on its way

[Ridge Runner]

This past week I have had 80mph winds, Rain that travels sideways, Then 17*c and This morning I walk up the shop at 8:30 am and it was 3*c and raining and now they say we might get Snow.
I don't mind either type of weather but over here you can get all 4 seasons in a day, I don't mind the Cold coz I have got Arctic Parkas and boots etc which are good for -100*c/-148*f, But ya get ready to go out and by the time I get out the building the weather has changed so ya go back in and change again and off ya go again and guess what,,, Yep it's changed again LOL, I have never owned so many coats in all my life, Back home my Drizabone was all I needed.

Geeze I miss a Sun Burnt Country, lol

Yeh, know what your sayin. I'm in Vic now. The whole of Oz is having a very dry time. Good for mining gold deposits in deep leads though.

 

[Parks]

My suggestion is; Don't paddle against a stream that you cant control. Try and use it to your advantage and just flow with the stream. Just my thoughts.

I wish I was there, If I have Christmas dinner on the Beach here with this wind it will end up in France before I get to chew the first lump,

 

[Parks]

I remember the days when the skip was comming in at my mates house, and his dad would talk to people all over, and stick another pin in the map on the wall,... that took me all the way back to high school then RR,....I have to drive my young fella down to the beach this morning,.. might get in a quick 20 minute swing in the sunshine on the sand while I'm there.

I got a young Son over here going through College so I am doing what I can to support him with what ever he needs and money etc,

I would of been back home in 2012 but he wanted to go to college and I want him to learn all he can before he leaves, So at leased he will be set for life then. But I am seriously thinking about calling it a day here,??
