Happy New Year to all followers of the blog. Let's all hope that 2026 is a better year for the planet than the disaster which was 2025.
The last 10 days have seen very strange weather here in Australia. In the north of the country there has been record rainfall in many places, with extensive flooding. It is the wet season but this year is proving to be a very big"wet".
In the south, in Tasmania, they saw snow on the highest peaks in Xmas week and in Melbourne over Xmas Day/Boxing Day the temperature was down at winter levels.
Here in Terrigal it's been a mixed bag with some overcast and cool days although it is warming up again now and soon we will be complaining about the heat I'm sure.
It's been slim pickings for photos but I did capture a photo of one of our cats, Smudge, showing a situation familiar to most cat owners-a cat wanting to be let out-soon to be followed by the same cat scratching at the same door asking to be let in again!
