it's rainy and humid here. We need rain too but as long as the mercury stays where it is and temps rise, I fear it will just get more and more humid
and no added rain will come. But crying won't help it any. Coffee doesn't seem to perk me up today either. With the impending rain as well I can't
get out and work either.
Slow news day it seems. I should be Grateful about that I guess.
I know, I'll put zappa on and read.

We're having a very nice Autumn here and I have to say I don't mind the prospect of Winter either. It can be a bit inconvenient some times, but so can
Summer in it's own way and overall Winter's becoming my favourite time of year you just have to make sure you get plenty of Vitamin D.

Today I fixed the stairway in our back porch, and in doing so I found a lot of rotten wood. We'll have to replace the whole porch.
But not today...

My blind friend came to visit yesterday. We went for a walk and had ice-cream. Very cosy.

Australia is a secular nation and as such some things are rated higher than religious festivals. Anzac Day for one. For many years now we have held
Anzac Day on the actual day rather than having a public holiday Monday in lieu. Anzac Day is the 25th of April which happened to be Easter Monday this
year, so Monday this week was called Anzac Day and Tuesday was a public holiday in lieu of Easter Monday.
So, we've just had a five day weekend. Although, if you're a teacher, it's in the middle of a term break anyway, which has been the case ever since
the government cunningly reorganised the school term structure. Back in the bad old days we had three terms with a two week term break in May and then
in September, that is, Autumn and Spring, which is kind of logical for holidays. Now we get three two week term breaks, April and October for the
first and third, which arguably places both of them in better weather, but the kicker is taking two weeks from the Summer break and dumping them in
the middle of Winter at the end of June.
The reasoning is sound I guess, it was argued that we needed to have a two semester year.
Anyway, I forgot to mention here that I got a teaching contract at a good local school for all of second term - ten weeks this time - which is good
news but my holiday's almost over, I'll be back at the rock face on Monday.

Summer has struck here, cars covered in pollen and rain being sorely missed. I've started juggling again.

I'm counting down to my first day at work tomorrow. Thankfully it's a professional development day, a good way to warm up to actual work.

Today went well. Tomorrow I start real teaching. I'm sure I'll be like a duck back on the pond after a stroll in the woods.

Thats great Poly!
Had a scary moment when my laptop got a BSOD in the middle of watching a Youtube video. I'm worried a driver got crashed.
Here are two pictures of the cape I knitted:

That's a lot of knitting. I imagine that's quite warm.
