Busy July

Wow! July has been a month. Lots of visitors from down South escaping the July cold. Unfortunately it has been unusually cold in most of Eastern Australia this winter and we have not been spared. An oval less than a kilometre from us had a frost last week, the first ever recorded in this district. Needless to say the jeans have been getting a workout and shorts have been finally washed.
Still it was great to have friends from Melbourne, Cullen, Canberra and Sydney. Plus Karissa and I had significant birthdays so multiple celebrations. Went fishing with brother Michael last week and caught some nice bream off the rockwall.
Many political discussions with visitors. General disgust with the whole Dr Haneesh affair. The usual cynicism about Howard’s motives regarding Aborigines and glee over the latest revelations in the Costello/Howard saga.
