Thankfully we do not get many days like oppressive in the summer. One is too many.

Welcome to an Australian midsummer.

Where 45 degrees Celsius is not unusual.
We are still far too dry. No thunderstorms even when it did get too warm by lunchtime last week.

We are on level 2 water restrictions, when we are expected to limit the time to linger under a shower by at least a minute to 3 minutes. A town up along the New South Wales/Queensland border, Stanthorpe, has a bushfire blazing but has run out of water entirely to fight it with. Stanthorpe is a moderately sized town, so the drought thickens. It is windy at the moment with a cold edge to it, like deep fried ice-cream.

We are having nice crisp spring weather at the moment, would that do?

We have been hearing about Dorian the Hurricane on the news, & my prayers go with the people there, & in the Bahamas, not so far away. We won't get the balancing equivalent cyclone season until the beginning of next year, if that.
PS: We heard on last night's news that somehow or other, Dorian found its way up to Canada? That's terrible! Is everyone okay?
