If you are in lockdown in the northern hemisphere and the weather is bleak it's probably best if you don't read on.
The last few days the weather here on the east coast of Australia has been superb. Warm-27ºC- but not too hot with no wind and cloudless skies. And we're not in lockdown. In fact for quite a few days no new covid-19 cases have been found in Australia. We have not eliminated the virus but we have done extraordinarily well.
Tomorrow the forecast is for some really hot weather-34ºC -here in Terrigal. At this time last year bushfires were raging. So far there have been none but after a lot of rain over winter there is a lot of fuel again if hot weather dries everything out.
I feel so sorry for my poor wife confined to a hospital bed in this glorious weather. At least she can rest comfortably that I am keeping the house and garden in good order. This morning I was out weeding the front garden at 7.00am before it was too warm.
This afternoon I took a walk with my camera. Terrigal has always been a popular beach destination but in the past three years it has become very popular and not just at weekends. The quiet retirement town has gone crazy and last weekend's opening of the North Connex motorway/tunnel has made it even easier for residents of Sydney's northwest and west to travel to Terrigal. The beach today was like it would be at Xmas. With international travel still not possible Xmas in Terrigal is going to be chaotic. Fortunately we live within easy walking distance of the beach.
Some photos from today's walk.
