Good morning Paul,

Yes, it's gorgeous morning here.

 PQ>> It's more likely to be Benalla still, mate.  I checked again with
 PQ>> uncle Google: the event is called the 'Austin 7 Club Historic
 PQ>> Winton', and this year was the 40th anniversary meet.

 HG> We have a "Highlights" from Winton coming up on friday, and I'll try

I skipped that, because it was too nice weather to stay indoors at 13:30.

PQ> This end of town has been through many floods over the years.  The
PQ> house is an early settler's cottage, with a lot of upgrades.  It's
PQ> over 100-something years old, and is on concrete stumps.

They are nice, those old buildings, as long as you have the energy to
keep them 'alive'. To have them elevated above the ground is a wise
thing, both to avoid water damages, as well as keeping them cooler,
because the ground below is mostly in the shadow.

PQ> I'm about 1.8m and in most places under the house I have to duck my
PQ> head, ....

I was too 1.82m in my golden years, but I have shrunk a bit now with age.
I didn't know about it until a thorough examination, at the Health care
center, some years ago.

 HG> Yes probably, when the REAL summer starts. What we have had so far,
 HG> has been some sort of appetizing pre-summer.

The forecast tells us that afternoon temperatures above 20øC will come
back from monday. Maybe that will not be the case here on the islands,
because the sea water is still cold, after the winter let go. Any wind
blowing here comes across the sea, so I use to say <northern winds are
allways cold, irrespective the direction they come from>.

PQ> Well, it's just not letting go here.  The temp was 19.1C at 9h30
PQ> this morning.

It was 11.5øC at 09:00 today. Expectation is 13C in the afternoon, maybe
a little higher if there's very little wind.

PQ> 30C just the other day. Gorgeous weather besides.  It's actually a
PQ> pleasure to enjoy a few moments in the sunshine (which is still
PQ> dangerous for us in winter).

It's dangerous any time of the year. A couple of weeks ago I had to go
some errands in the vicinity, and decided to leave the cap at home. I
shouldn't have done that, I got immeadetely a couple of burns on my
skull.


Have a nice day,

Holger
