Frosty!

It's cold now. Lots of frost. 2 deg C on my front porch and that's after the sun has come up. Frost not just in the reserve but in my front and back yard. The days are perfect, warm so long as you're in a sheltered spot. I have requested photos of frost from my friend, but that means the poor dear would have to get outside and get cold... we'll see if it happens.

All sympathy to the Tregear woman who got caught up in the accident at Springwood. Soft tissue injuries? Hope you're feeling much better. I bet that stuffed up your day.

Warm(ish) winter

It's so dark at this time of the morning. I had to go to work early yesterday, left the house at 6am, and it just felt so strange to be leaving the house while it was still totally black. The sun didn't become a glimmer until I was down at the station. But it's also not all that cold. I think maybe that there's been so much cloud cover that it's acted like a blanket and kept us a little warmer than we'd expect. We've had no frost at all besides the first couple at the beginning of the season. Now we are towards the end of June and it's just not cold enough. Mind you, if the cloud cover clears we are going to freeze!!

On a completely different subject Westbus doesn't have timetables on their site anymore. They have a link to the government timetable site, http://www.131500.info/realtime/timetableentry.asp and their timetables are on there. I suppose they are saving money by not maintaining their own site. It doesn't say it's temporary. And the wording is peculiar, it looks as if you have to ring for timetable info. You don't - it's a link to a website.
