I've never felt so glad to see the back end of February. That one was a brute.
Lib and I are about to pack for a trip to the Flourieu Peninsula in South Australia for some R+R. We were in Lakes Entrance last week Monday to Friday. It was as windy as but we read books and did a bit of fishing with no catch.
The change of scenery was worth the drive. Walking along the foreshore watching pelicans, swans, spoonbilled ibis, and seagulls is a far cry from carting water in buckets to desperate trees and shrubs at the end of a long hot day, which was the norm for February.
There was 16 ml in the rain gauge when we got home. There's a welcome coolness in the air, the autumn crocus are flowering and the tension that gripped whole communities has lifted.
I'm taking a bag of lemons with us in the hope we have better luck with the fishing this week. Adios till we're back in Gemmy.
