It's supposed to be spring!

As forecast, today is bleak and freezing cold! The sun was out this morning, but we only had to step outside to walk up to our Saturday morning breakfast to know that the second cold front is almost here. It's Grand final day (Australian Rules Football, folks) in Melbourne, and the weather will be lousy. Snow down to 500 metres, rain, hail and wind. two days ago it was in the high twenties (Centigrade) and we were in short sleeves. We were in Melbourne, and yesterday morning when we ventured out to catch a tram, it had rained and as we sat on the tram there was an almighty crack of thunder and down it came. Ah, raincoats in our case back at our accommodation! Things were being set up for the AFL football parade. Normally players sit in the backs of utes or sporty cars but they were inside this time. We weren't interested as our team didn't make it to the Grand final.
Tomorrow is my Mum's birthday. She would have been 88. I still miss her.
Here's a piccie of her from the 1970s.
