Getting colder

Actually put a scarf around my neck this morning when I left the house. Took it off by the time I got to work, only needed it for while before the temperature came up.

I'm pretty sure I could see the International Space Station the past couple of days. It just looked like two small stars but when we looked through the binoculars there was just a faint line connecting them. Very faint. And I hope it was the space station because I can't think what else would look like that!

Dogs!

There was a dog yesterday morning. A big one, with a loud bark. Started next door, barking, walked up the street, barking, past my house, and continued up past next door the other side, maybe one further and then stopped. That all happened about 30 minutes before I wanted to wake up. And we all know we can't go back to sleep that close to wake up time! That dog is my enemy! I did get up and have a look but the dog had gone into a space between the houses just up the road and I couldn't see. The mystery dog from hell! Questions remain, was there a human with this critter? Was the human riling up the dog? Did something else set the mutt off? The alsation up the road, who doesn't usually bark at night, decided to bark back, but I'm pretty sure the loose canine was the one who started.

This dog hasn't returned, luckily.

Noise

There has been a fair bit of noise from a house up the road from here for a few days. Tonight they are quiet. It hasn't been enough noise to cause me a problem because they are just far enough away. I wonder how their neighbors coped, but it wasn't a problem at my end.

Quiet and foggy

The weather can't make up it's mind if it's going to rediscover summer or go straight to winter! There's been fog on and off. Very quiet, nothing really to report. A whole group of people went over to the reserve just to play I think! It's unusual to see so many people over there at one time without motor bikes!

Warm

Warm. Warm enough to put the air con on in the afternoons. Warm enough to put the air con on in the car.

Other than that it's very quiet. Not even roaring motorbikes in the reserve.

Fog

There. Fog in Tregear Reserve. And I'm told there was people with a quad bike and a kid on it in the reserve yesterday, but, delightfully, it was set to go slow and the kid had protective gear and a helmet on! Now that is an unusual sight around here!

No pics

I was going to put a pic of the reverve in fog in here but my image program is having trouble scaling it down to a reasonable size. Today was lovely weather and nothing really happened.

Good wishes to the fellow from the chemist who was stabbed in the leg. That was just so crazy!

Better late than never!

Happy Womens' Day for yesterday!

And it was foggy this morning and I got some pics - I'll post later...

Fog

There was fog again this morning, but of course I didn't have time to rush out and take photos.

My bus friend, Sandra, told me there had been a domestic on her street, with a man bashing a woman pretty badly, but by the time the police showed up the two had moved back inside and the police didn't seem to be able to find them. And my daughter told me she'd been disturbed last night when she was trying to get to sleep by a helicopter almost on top of her house. She asks that all sorts running from police please stay away from her street at that time of night. She doesn't want all that noise being brought over her way. Thank you.

It was quiet down here.

Politicians in Tregear!

One of the news items over on the side there says that a couple of polis came to Tregear!! Paul Lynch, minister for Aboriginal Affairs and the member for Londonderry Allan Shearan. They came for a forum to listen to local Aboriginal people saying what they think the priorities are for improving services. Of course we shouldn't hold our collective breathes, they are still and will always be politicians, but it has potential as a start for improving things.

Lovely day!

There was fog out there this morning! If I remember to take a pic I'll post it. If I'm out there at the same time as the fog and with a camera as well.....

Warm & some noise

A lovely warm day, constructive and relaxing. Could have done more, but really, did enough. Have to go to work tomorrow, but not thinking about that until I have to.

Last night there was a party up the road. pretty loud, but mostly voices rather than music. They were making a bit of a racket before I went to bed, but I put the fan on and it provided enough of a noise buffer that I couldn't hear it. I don't know if people closer were annoyed. I don't think it became ugly because the fan wouldn't have enough to block the noise of a brawl.

There you go, something happened in Tregear. Maybe 10 newspapers should cover it!

Belated summer

Summer came back for a short time today. It was quite cold last night, less than 10 deg C when I woke up but during the middle of the day when we went back to the car that was parked up at Penrith we actually had to put the air con on and wait for a while before we got in. Too hot! Too hot for the jacket and closed shoes I thought I was going to need.

Tregear has been very quiet as usual. Nothing more than the usual occasional speeding car with music up too loud. There was a couple of people passed each other on the footpath and stopped to talk for a few minutes outside my house. There's news reports of a drug bust. Quiet. I suppose whoever lived next door to the house that was busted might have felt it wasn't so quiet for a change....
