 Well - I suppose it is only fair to be even-handed. I complained about the 43 degree C day we had here recently, and the weather has now calmed down a bit to 30 to 35 degrees C. With a bit of airconditioning - we can all handle that. I feel for you guys and gals in the cold, I really do. But the older I get, the less I want a suntan. Put me in cooler (not your kinda cold!!) weather anyday, I say.

26th Jan is Australia Day - we have a fireworks event on the mighty Swan RIver here in Perth, with the fireworks synched to music. Hundreds of thousands of people will be zeroing in on some prime riverside parks between about 8.00 and 9.00pm - it is a heck of a fireworks show. People sit alongside the riverbanks and picnic all day and into the night. The next day of course, there is an army of people to "clean up". mistake.gif

Summer is a great time of year if you can enjoy it - but then again, every season has its good points. I remember one fall in Houston when I was walking down a residential street just off Westheimer, and the whole street was a canopy of trees with their leaves in fall colours - a winter in Paris with a favourite gal, and spring in the UK - all bring back terrific memories. I guess that all we can do is take advantage of what is dished out and keep on keeping on.

Stay safe and well you freezing 3Ters - it never lasts forever.

Have a good day! IanM hand6.gif
