Glorious autumn weather here in the Overberg as road and bridge repairs carry on at a snail's pace. I was invited to a 70th-birthday party with flamenco dancing and had picked out a red shawl and heels before realising that a four-hour detour along muddy roads and having to open farm gates by torchlight might not be worth a couple of hours sexy twirl and foot stamping. The Franschhoek mountain pass is closed 'for the foreseeable future' which sounds very ominous.
Meteorological winter. It is supposed to be meteorological summer here in Canada. I walk up to 5 degrees. There were frost warnings in low lying areas of the province of New Brunswick.
Whenever 1 hear about Canadian winter temperatures I am relieved that my forebears (on my mother's side) caught a ship to New Zealand rather than Canada.
On my father's side some ended up in Australia and I always wondered if an Australian Bishop, whose surname was spelt the same way as my family, was a distant relation.

@Foaming Draught that sounds like holiday in paradise, I hope you and @Clarence have a good rest.
First day of winter here. Sorry, Victorians & Canberrans 😊
