It should be expected right? So why am I always surprised when the sun sets earlier in winter? I think it must be that it seems to happen so quickly. One minute it’s light til 7.30, the next, missing just one train has me walking home in the dark. Still. I no complain. I like [...]

A cold blustery morning at Cottesloe Beach The beach has all but disappeared And there is so much seaweed on the beach that remains. Still the scenery isn’t all bad I haven’t been down to Cottesloe in a while and I was surprised to see the beach all but gone. I know it diminishes [...]
Today might be date of the wedding of the century but here I’m more concerned that it is finally the end of the cyclone season. And I’ve checked with the Severe Weather Centre and they say there will be no more til November. You might remember that I like to put up the track maps [...]
Well winter in Perth anyway which is pretty mild. Cool enough to wear boots. No need for a parka. And yes I know it’s not winter yet. And one shower does not a winter make. Oh but wasn’t it nice to wake up to a washed world yesterday. To not feel hot. To wear boots [...]
How can you complain about the weather when we can head down to the beach and enjoy a sunset like that? It was my parents who suggested it – and what a good idea it was to go down the beach for fish and chips on a Saturday evening and watch the sun go down. [...]

Worldly, confident spinster aunt? Or is that Melbourne? Whatever… I love Sydney. I love [...]
I tried to avoid a weather post, I honestly did. But more than three weeks of stupidly hot weather, hot and humid weather, finally broke me. Jeez Louise – how long is this going to last! It’s more than a koala bear. Up to today we’ve had 21 days over 30 degrees celcius… and the [...]
So this is what my life at work is like at the moment… Fire fire flood fire fire fire fire fire cyclone fire. So far we haven’t had many cyclones – ah but it is early in the season my friend. This next one they are calling a “midget” cyclone. At the start of the [...]
Tonight I walked home with my daughter under a pink sky. She had been at Tai-jitsu – Ninja training basically. Yes, they wear black. I guess I am lucky. To have a daughter patient enough to wait for me to dig out my camera. And one who even points out a good shot. Love ya. [...]
Look out the window, they cried, look at the clouds! Well it is not often that my colleagues are inspired to look at clouds and so I thought they must be pretty spectacular, but it turns out that they just thought I’d be interested because I am a cloud geek… actually I do like taking [...]
