The internet is trying to sell me bikinis today, they look fantastic, but I doubt they will fit me, as they seem very small.

IIRC according to the BBC News the weather bureau was expecting 30 degrees there this weekend, did it eventuate?

Sorry been busy and just back on here

Has been warm here but not 30. Think it was warmer somewhere down south for a day though. When they say it was 30 in the UK think of it like they are saying the whole of NSW was the same temperature

Earlier this week one day it reached 28 here but that was one of the hotter days

Went for a drive in the country this weekend and there seemed to be a lot of inexperienced young animals around, I suspect born in spring and have left their mothers now, a couple of wallabies standing in the road looking the wrong way were the worst, but also young kangaroos jumping across the road in front of me instead of back in to the bush, and even a couple of birds flying low over the road after dusk!

They might have been Euros, thinking they were looking the right way
