Today is the first day of spring officially here,but somewhere along the way winter forgot to turn up except for a few odd days here & there ,& now it feels like summer.The other night it was so hot you would have thought it was mid summer not winter. There was a bush fire somewhere & the smoke floated in through the open windows.
So far this year we have had the hottest day on record & the warmest winter ever.The heaters never got out of the cupboard & the electricity we used wasn't much more than the previous 9mths ( clothes dryer was the culprit).The garden doesn't know if its Arthur or Marhta.
Husband said he heard on the news that the Funeral Directors are complaining that their business has fallen because of the unseasonal weather.
Now we are wondering what the rest year will bring.
All that lousy weather just rolled down to Mount Gambier and sat there for months like a miserable wet, cold, windy troll and laughed at my discomfort as I huddled beneath a quilt with a hot water bottle on my knees.
Today, to celebrate the coming of Spring with a glorious sunshiny day, I am wearing a pretty floral dress. I'll enjoy the feeling of fresh air on my legs until next Friday when we will be back to 14C again.
