What's happening in your world?

[Farseer]

I feel so foreign when I read the posts in this thread, and I'm so glad you set it up, Nuytsia...makes me see things through the eyes of others! I especially couldn't help but have a chuckle at your comment, Mervi .

It is about 26 degrees (mid-winter in Australia) here at the moment, and I'm COLD, especially my fingers which are uncovered for typing! I have to admit that most of it is wind chill as we have so few trees out here on the Downs, except for around the house compound and various watercourses.

Sounds like the temperatures in Israel are similar to that here in Queensland, particularly North Queensland, where I am, though, thankfully, ours is mostly a dry heat unless during a rainy wet season. A temperature in the forties is usually in the shade here in summer, when we tend to wake up quite early to begin a day's work, have extra time off during the hottest part of the day, and then work on well into the evening. Certainly any major mustering of cattle that we need to do is usually undertaken during the winter months. Most people also complete their shearing then as well.

Funny you have been so busy watching the World Cup, Nuytsia...for a time you swapped the prophecies of Fool and SWR for those touted by a squid in a tank (and which were proven right !!).

I also agree...maulkin, you no doubt have a spectrum of memories and experiences that mirrors the quantity of those held by your namesake!!!!
