We have been making good use of our covered deck area with a visit from grandson, partner and great-granddaughter for lunch yesterday and have just had our lunch there today. The weather has been good - not too hot, forecast 27 degrees today.
Thankfully, one of the "cures" from the G.P. for my ongoing cough seems to be working and my cough has almost gone.
I was talking to my step-daughter in New South Wales yesterday and she had to go as she thought they may have to evacuate but when I phoned today they were still home. fingers (and everything else) crossed. I just don't know where it will end with all these massive fires.
NSW does seem to be under siege. Very sad. Enjoy entertaining on the deck. May the hospitable weather continue.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
Yes, we are enjoying our deck and while Australia is having this heatwave and strong winds our weather has been quite balmy.
DeleteGood news re the cough.
ReplyDeleteOur Noosa friends sound ok, must see how Whyalla is faring.
It's frightening even at a distance
Yes, and it is going to be worse at the weekend. Good that your friends are o.k.
DeleteWe all echo your wishes for rain in Australia. It is truly catastrophic there. All the best for 2020 with good health and great happiness.
ReplyDeleteIt is just getting worse. Thank you for your good wishes
DeleteI feel for your daughter Susan, it must be so stressful for her. We have a lot of family living in Australia, but thankfully none that have been so far affected by the fires. I do wish it would rain for them.
ReplyDeleteWishing you all the best for a happy 2020, Mxx
Thank you.
DeleteSomeone was saying yesterday that a lot of Aussies may leave, and settle elsewhere. I wonder if NZ will see a rise in immigration; I'm sure they will in the UK. I really feel for them; what a disaster.
ReplyDeleteI would have thought it more likely that people go to N.Z. rather than U.K.
DeleteGlad the cough has gone, hope your xmas was good, we've had bumper scorching weather here, happy new year.
ReplyDeleteYes, it is hot for us isn't it. We are so pleased to have the new deck area (or rather the deck now covered and cooler).
DeleteMy fervant wish too is for lots of rain in NSW - the images on the TV are really frightening - a medieval vision of hell on earth. I just don't understand why they went ahead and had that huge firework display last night!
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, Rosemary, they have needed rain for a long time. The fireworks display just rubbed salt in the wound.
DeleteHappy New Year to you both
ReplyDeleteand to you Molly.
