Weather here is nice today...
Must be the season - the sun actually shone here today and will again tomorrow, with 17 delicious degrees promised.
After 14 months of abnormal rainfall we could do with a break.
I fear for Aussie - you must be having a very dry winter. I'm seeing racetracks all over the place racing on firm ground when it's normally soft at this time of year. Summer is going to be horrific.

My dad, who is 85 this year and still extremely white, commented this week that he hasn't seen evidence of a lot of backburning this winter. I restrained myself and did not point out that this is likely because after the catastrophic 2019-20 season, a lot of jurisdictions are now adopting traditional indigenous methods of hazard reduction, which involves a lot of smaller, cooler fires to clear undergrowth and dried detritus and doesn't pump a lot of visible smoke into the atmosphere.
If you're not on edge, you're taking up too much space.
