January

I only decided to start keeping this blog in early February so January is just one entry.  From here I'll try to post daily.


It's been a unusual start to the year.  What would usually have been an extremely hot month in Central Victoria has been strangely mild but incredibly wet.  For the second time in just a few months we've been isolated by flood waters blocking roads into town.  I had a frightening experience driving through a fast moving flood across the road to get home one day.

Next day we had two trees fall over our chicken run - simply fell over by the roots.

There were a couple of hot days but we didn't once need the cooling on to sleep at night.  Unbelievable.
