Mar 9, Wednesday

It cooled down again today and the rain's back.  They forecast a huge downpour (70mm) today but we had only 9mm.  It all counts though - the vegie garden will be glad of it.

Another very warm day.  It was still 27 degrees at 8pm!

Mar 7, Monday

I hadn't taken any notice of the weather forecast so after being stuck in the office all day it was a surprise when I went outside at 4.30pm to find it was hot!  Ok, so it wasn't 35 degrees but it was a lot warmer than we've had in ages.  It reached almost 29 degrees.  This is nothing unusual for March, it's only that we've had such an amazingly mild Summer.

Another lovely day.  Blue sky, sunshine, just on 25 degrees.

Mar 5, Saturday

A stunning, stunning day.  The sun was out all day but it wasn't too hot at all.  Great day for a one year old's outdoor birthday party!  We had a more than 2 hour drive to Healesville but what a pleasure it was today.  Everything's green, the dams and ponds are brimming with water, and the sun through the car window was gentle and pleasant.

Mar 4, Friday

Today was a lovely sunny but coolish day.  The evening sun is filtering through the gums at the back of our property and it looks so peaceful.  But... we have the heater on.  It's the first time since last Spring.

Mar 1-3 Tue, Wed, Thur

I've not been my usual self these last few days (I'm miserable at work) so 3 days update at once.

We've said goodbye to Summer and it certainly feels like it.  In fact tonight we almost turned the heater on!  It's still been sunny during the day but temperatures only reaching 20 degrees or just over.

On a positive note, the crepe myrtles are in full flower at the moment.  It's so lovely to see them in gardens as you drive around.  The oleander are out too.  I also noticed today the first hint of yellow/orange in the leaves of the trees.
