Stormy weather
Thw weather has been bizarre. I am a warm person, I need fewer blankets than Andrew does, but it has been properly cold at night. I have enjoyed our flannelette sheets and woolen doona and have not been too warm. The signs of Spring have been obvious, the blossoms are out, it is light when I get up and staying light later at night but it has still been cold. Friday was warm, I didn't need my coat when I left work at 4.30 but yesterday it was summer. I know that the seasons change quickly in Wagga, I'm used to having the heater on one week and the air conditioning the next but this is ridiculous! I hope this isn't a sign of hideous heat to come.
Jossie had her last day of hockey yesterday and it was a round robin. Bethany and Toby amused themselves by running around and playing in the spare goal nets.
Jossie played pretty well. I was taking Bethany to the loo when she did a brilliant pass but I did manage to get a photo of some Jossie action.
After the games they had a presentation and sausage sizzle.
They all received a hat which would have been useful during the games. It was all over by 11.30 and we were very thankful because it started to get very warm indeed. During the afternoon I noticed that both next-door neighbours had their air conditioners on so I opened all our vents and put ours on too. By late afternoon the sky was looking ominous.
It wasn't so bad looking in the other direction and that side made a much nicer photo :)
We were treated to some a very loud show of lightening and 'funder' as Bethany calls it. As it was bedtime the kids all claimed that they were frightened but fell asleep straight away and didn't stir when thunder boomed directly above us making me jump.
It didn't rain for long and was so windy that the washing I had on the line was dry in the morning! We had friends over for lunch and I rather stupidly forgot to take photos. We ate porchetta, potato gratin, salad, choc-mint biscuits and banana cake. A highlight for me was when Bethany and William took the grate off a drain and dropped a ball in. William's dad, Glenn, did a MacGyver and used a skipping rope and empty play-dough container to rescue the ball!
