Good morning, everyone! And Merry Christmas again!

matina, my brother's Christmas card just arrived, after more than a month in transit, and I thought you'd enjoy the snowy scene. You've seen this view previously, looking towards Acadia National Park, but this year my brother and his wife featured the famous Christmas tree sale for their annual card. It's about -15 degrees there right now, by the way.

Hi, Katy. Heard that the Penrith area is heading for 45 degrees on Friday! Hope you can stay in the AC!

Star, you probably 'win the prize' in northern SA. It's was 'only' 31 here in the mountains at 11 am, heading for a measly 36 degrees by mid-afternoon. That's about 97 degrees F for those of you in the US. (45 degrees C is 113 F and 50 degrees is about 122 F.) Whew!

Fuzzies have been indoors since about 9 am. They don't seem to complain, but always find the coolest spots.

Thanks for the good wishes, Stretton. I'm back for more appointments next week, but so far, so good. Finishing up the antibiotics for pneumonia tomorrow. Think they've done their job.

Hi to br bear and Ice, John and Diva, Ada and all the TLWBF regulars.

Ello

gotta admit, I thought I was being offered as dinner when I first started reading

@Matina... just imagine:


One day you woke up feeling hungry...


And something catches your eye...

good evening everyone I trust you are all behaving...and if your not... at least your being safe

Whether it's cold or hot who wouldn't want one of these John this will definitely put us in a sugar coma Hi ice good to see you Matina no coffee grab some of this tho



Pj I have to go out on Friday so not looking forward to the 45c

[pjmpjm]

Here's the view I'd have if I walked to the end of my street . . . but it's too hot right now. Will wait for evening.

matina, I'll pass along your offer. My brother reports, however, that everyone my age wants to leave Maine in the winter, and go to Florida!

[pjmpjm]

Good morning, everyone!

John, hope you're feeling better today.

matina, only another couple of days before the 'heat wave' subsides into 'just really hot.'

Katy, am heading out for an errand today but will otherwise stay inside with the fuzzies and AC. Wasn't quite as hot here yesterday as forecast. Hope you stay cool down in Sydney!

Hi to Ada and dreamy and all the regulars.

Spotted this old but very solid sandstone structure next to the petrol station in the lower mountains, on my way back from Westmead Tuesday. Dunny (outhouse) or something else? Probably at least 150 years old.

[Stretton]

Hi Everyone!!

hmmm... PJ I'm guessing stairs to a secret underground bunker...

I meant to say this last night when it happened, but it was so hot that I didn't need the hot tap on in the shower at all and I was washing my hair, too. Which is easily a 20 minute shower. And the shower had been used for the same length of time before I went in as well. That's how hot it was here yesterday. It's currently sitting at 40 degrees on our back verandah.
