April 18-30 Monday - Saturday

Well over a week since I last posted!  It's been busy.
The weather has been pretty consistent of late.  It's true Autumn weather for us.  Each day has been sunny and just a tad under 20 degrees.  Lovely, comfortable weather!  No rain.

April 14-17, Thursday-Sunday

A bit of a multiple blog entry again.  It's been a busy few days preparing for our garage sale.
The weather has been cool and we've had the fire on pretty much all day.  Sunday crept up a little more - up to 20 degrees.  It was a pleasantly sunny day so perfect for being out in the shed sorting through old belongings.

April 13, Wednesday

Another cool day as expected.  There was a bit of drizzle as I drove around in Melbourne and had lunch with Diane.

April 12, Tuesday

It was a cool day but the rain in Melbourne had stopped.  There was flooding again last night with the trains grinding to a halt due to the tracks being under water.  At mum's house the carport filled with water spouting up from a drain.  They had to open the roller door to let the water out.  Amazing!

April 11, Monday

Cool again today but the sun was out a lot of the day.  It was quite pleasant standing in the sun but stepping into the shade there was a much cooler feel, plus a bit of a cool breeze.  A friend from Melbourne came up today with a little one in a stroller.  We walked into town which was lovely.  We got home just in time.  It had clouded over and there was a fine mist on our faces for the last 5 minutes walk home.

April 10, Sunday

Quite a cool day today and it looks like we'll have this for the rest of the week.  It was cold during the night and barely reached 17 degrees during the day.  It's lovely to have the wood fire burning.  It's so cosy.  I spent the day inside packing so enjoyed the warm house.

April 9, Saturday

It started off as a warm and sunny day but by lunchtime the wind had picked up and the temperature was dropping.  I was 20mins from home when the sky started darkening and I had washing out on the line!  Rushed home and got it in just in time.  Rain again, it's been a while.

April 5-8, Tuesday to Friday

Each day has been the same - warm and sunny with temperatures in the early 20's.  The perfect week for my first few days of unemployment.

April 4, Monday

The last day of work today.  It was a cool day and when we went out for lunch I almost wished I had a jacket.  It was a sunny evening and I was glad to be home.  We still the had the wood fire burning though.

April 3, Sunday (week)

I've not been on the ball this week, with it being my last week of work and I was in Melbourne the entire week.  The week really dragged on.  I hardly saw any of the weather, getting to the office when it was still dark! 

So this post is a summary of the week as I remember it.  The temperatures have been what we'd expect of Autumn.  No rain, often sunny, but usually just reaching over 20 degrees if that.  It's weather I don't at all mind.

Today, Sunday, is an overcast day.  This morning we lit our wood fire for the first time this year.  Our neighbours had theirs on once that we saw last weekend but we've just used our backup heat source - a portable electric Nobo heater.  But this morning when it was so cool we thought we'd light the fire in the kitchen.  I'll be home in my own bed every night this week so we'll both enjoy having our sitting room cosy every night.  It's nice on a coolish weekend to have warmth right through the house.  We leave the kitchen door open and as we have a couple of stairs up the hallway the heat rises and heads through the house.  Lovely.
