Summer.

Summer certainly came in with a bang this year.  Storms and high temperatures have been the norm for the first few days of the month. I think I would still prefer this to Elin and Jim's snow and minus14C



This is a page from the Sydney Morning Herald for the1st December. As you can see the forecast temperature was 41C and it did reach that but I forgot to take a photo of the temperature gauge.


 

Even the cat was feeling the heat.





Our new look for summer.  Lighter and brighter furniture covers.




These are some of the cars from the car club that turn up for our monthly tyre kicking and bragging session at Rouse Hill.



As I obviously had my camera with me I walked down the road and took photos that I had been meaning to do for a long time.



These are Bottle Trees (Brachychiton rupestris) but I think their shape gives the game away.



They are originally from Queensland but occasionally turn up here in New South Wales.



For some time we have been looking for a "green man" and now that we have found one the arguments, discussions will start on where to hang him.  Watch this space.
