Holiday Time in Australia

What has happened to the sunny days of Summer in Australia???

At my usual abode in the Blue Mountains the weather hasn't been the
kindest to the mountian folk. Thought it will be warmer than on the
coastline of Victoria !  I will be thinking of my daughter's horses on
Sunday when a thunderstorm is predicted with lightning :((
  They usually find a spot to hide along with the odd visiting Kangaroo or Deer. Yes - Deer !!

This was taken 1/10/11 and this hailstorm made our roof leak



Two older and a smaller version were spotted last week - don't know where they may have come from at all. Venison anyone?? As long as they don't bother Rusty or Sir Toto - why worry?

In Apollo Bay on the Victorian Coastline the weather is much the same

as the rest of Australia, Today its just been cloudy and about 22 degrees celcius which isn't really our best summer weather.

Tomorrow and Saturday the Meterological people say we are in for another wild day. Thunderstorms and about 26 degrees Celcius, and the humidity is up to about 62%.

I don't mind summer or even the storms, I just can't handle all the humidity :((( Sunday is supposed to be sunny and cloudy though the temperature needs us to be ready with cardigans and jumpers as at 16 degrees - its a tad cool near and in the water. As long as the fish don't mind and jump on a baited hook,who would complain?

The storm build up over Bass Strait  is amazing. This is the 'ocean' that lies between the Victorian and Tasmanian coastlines and it is well known for its rough seas in bad weather. Hopefully by the time Boxing Day comes the waters will be calmer for the Sydney to Hobart yacht race. 

Black water laden clouds stand fiercely in the sky - usually waiting till we go outside before dumping their loads on us and usually when we don't have the umbrella at hand LOL.  Next week won't be much better with prediction's of 17-19 degrees being our lot.

Can't complain too much when I see the weather forecast for Scotland. It even made our television news headlines with the weather being stated as like Hurricanes!!!   And I thought there would be just snow. Below are the photos shown on Aussie news websites !
