Warm and light

The light is finally catching up with my wake up time. Yesterday it was lovely to notice that there was light when I woke up. And today is so perfectly warm. I just want to curl up and drowse. Not even sure I want to read a book, but of course I end up on the net. Talking about being outside in the sun....

Mist

We have fog this morning. A light mist. Made the backyard rather surreal - warm(ish), wet and mysterious mist - instead of freezing, crunchy grass and dry air. Still didn't want to stay there after taking to dog out, skittered back in very quickly. Got my hot coffee now trying to wake up enough to iron my clothes for work.

Cleaned up by the neighbors

I finally asked enough people and found the right one - the people next door to the mess cleaned it up. They got sick of looking at it so they cleaned up after the council cleanup people. They put all the mess in the garbage bin and then put the bin out on garbage night. They rang the council about the rubbish pick up not being finished but council never sent anyone else out.

What else would we expect? No doubt no one from council will comment on this issue. I did email them but i guess responding to the concerns of the people in Tregear isn't their big thing.

Cleanup!

That was quick! Around lunchtime when I left the house the mess was still on the street. When I came home the footpath was spotless and the garbage bins had been put away. Was it council? A neighbor? I'll have to ask around to see if anyone saw who cleaned up.

Blacktown Council Cleanup

You know when you've called council to come out and pick up rubbish? You sort of expect them to actually pick up the rubbish. This is what Blacktown council cleanup people leave behind. The house this is outside is empty. No one is going to clean up after council. No one lives there anymore.

Just to add to the irony is the sign directly across the road from the rubbish.

More Tregear ice

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.

Fogs

The fogs have been amazing!
