    We stopped beside the road this morning on our way to town, to get a snap of the snow up in the ski fields. Good cover for the skiers, however, I’ve heard that because of the NSW lockdown, there might not be many skiers up there. Not sure.



    Hope you all had a good sleep.

    Beautiful photo @Pat E
    How far away are those snowfields from where you were?

    A quick good morning from me. Just taking a cuppa back to bed.

    About an hour’s drive, Dove. Can’t think of number of kms. 
    It might explain our cold mornings. Our prevailing winds come roughly from that direction. 🙄

    Good morning to you all!!

    Cooler morning here but the mercury will rise later on in the morning.  Warm winds yesterday, drying out the soil although underneath it was still humid enough.  

    @Busy-Lizzie  temperatures to drop to about 26°C in the coming days - it is hot, but the nights are cooler, so easier to sleep. 

    Asparagus; (if they get to the pan for a light fry) are eaten raw here.    But this is delicious!!  https://www.feastingathome.com/lemony-asparagus-risotto/

    Wherever you are - have a good day.

    Cool again here and very grey but with little golden glimmers to the east.  The radar shows lots of rain down @Busy-Lizzie's way but it's swirling past just to the south of us so far.  Finishing touches to the kitchen walls for me today then maybe some sewing and even some sowing depending on what the pm weather does.

    Hope you get some rain soon @Pat E and hope everyone else's stops before it's too much.   How's your stream doing @punkdoc?

    You may have heard about the old oak tree that fell on partygoers in Suffolk yesterday ... that's just down the road from @WonkyWomble and my old home ... I wonder if  the tree that fell is the one locals called the 1,000 year-old Queen's Oak .... its in a meadow on quite a high part of Suffolk and withstood the  Great Storm of '87  which brought down hundreds if not thousands of trees in East Anglia ...

    Very cool and wet down here, I think a day for leggings and socks! Where is summer? I need to pick beans and cucumbers if it stops raining. Lovely picture Pat. 
    Have a good day all whatever you are up to.

    Morning everyone,  I need to get to the plots to pick some veg, and I have some lettuce to plant.  Most of my last batch had bolted in the heat while we were in Scotland.  Grey and damp start here hope it dries up.  We aren't getting enough rain to be useful, the ground is still dry under a lot of plants,  but all the foliage is wet.
