Weather is a bit different here. Just got home from watching 12yo grandson harry play rugby in the rain and snow.
They won 50 to 10..he scored 2 cracka runaway tries. They have moved him from flanked '(forwards) to the wing. I was quite chuffed when the coach moved him. I was also a winger.
Home now getting warm and betting on the horses.

It's a bit hazy here as well.
Has been for the last 2 days.
I can do with some blue sky as the solar batteries need a good top up

3 deg c here atm high of 8 deg c. We left heat pump on overnight. Might get that white stuff? And yet grandsons rugby is on??? It's 9 am here I'm downstairs waiting on wife to come down . We will decide if we are going. ( i hope not)

We're forecast that white stuff as well tomorrow and Monday. We don't get it at 1300m but anything falling 1,000m and above we get.

We had to let the fire die down today to take ash out of the stove. The woodshed is currently warmer than the house! We have to put it somewhere where the chooks can't get at it, it's the woodshed or the garden shed with the petrol containers in., so woodshed it is.

Supposed to rain, 95% chance, and get up to 88°F/32°C today. Think Pippi and I will stay inside and come up with something to cook...
