Dry and Hot

Driving home yesterday was the first time since we’d left Gippsland, we were surrounded again by the smoke. It was hot and the countryside looks so dry. We didn’t experience the extreme hot weather in NSW. It was pleasant to be away from the smoke and the heat. The neighbour who collected our mail for us said it’s been hot and smoky during the weeks we’ve been away. I’m glad I’ve had a break from it.

Home Sweet Home

I am home. I love returning after a long holiday, especially when I’ve done a bit of camping, everything seems so comfortable and easy! I will write about my trip as I have handwritten daily since I have been away and have many little stories to tell.
I have returned home to my son having two broken hands and a black eye. He fell over and broke his hands outside a shop in town. Whilst he was away a cricket ball hit him in the eye. I am concerned about him.
I spent the afternoon transporting the stuff from the car to the house and have yet to do all the washing and proper unpacking. My family and friends called around to catch up so the afternoon was mostly pleasantly spent and now the work lies before me.
I have heaps of email and feeds to scan and mostly delete, because I feel I would never catch up. I have a pile of snail mail to work through. I read 5 books and saw a few movies whilst I was away so I’ll also be mentioning them down the track.
We travelled through the hills to Wollongong and spent a week there and home via the coast. It was a great trip.

Greetings from Woolongong

I am on holidays. I am quickly writing a post from Woolongong as I did last year from Broken Hill. I like this city. It has beautiful beaches and the weather has been great. The journey here was sensational. We went to lots of National Parks and saw beautiful countryside. I have lots of videos to share when I get home.
Happy New Year all.
