From the land Down Under!!

Well it is the start of another school year here and we have been copping some pretty crazy weather all over our vast country. Australia - particularly my home state of Queensland, has been drenched in rain (currently doing the summer rain thing AGAIN tonight) :-)

We have had huge bushfires and cyclones, tornadoes (not very common), floods and heat waves - you name it, it was probably somewhere!!

So in the interest of being all global neighbourly (yes that is correct spellchecker), how are things in your world? And what are your favourite activities for spending those forced indoor hours?

I've been watching the images from ISS of y'all's crazed weather. It's unreal.

Here it's been godawfully cold. That's normal for us this time of year, though we've been spoiled the last few years with some very mild winters. Now that we've had a return to subzero temps, the dog and I have been completely stir-crazy for about two months. We both get up and moon around the house, restless.

Of course, I also have teenagers, so once three-fifteen hits, there's no rest for the wicked. Basketball games, practice, band, orchestra and choir concerts...

I need a secretary to keep track of it all. Preferably a male one. Who looks and talks like Tom Hiddleston.
