On the Broad Gauge

It’s 6 am and 6 degrees and I’m standing at the bus stop going to the gym. I must be mad!

Up on the Sunshine Coast for the weekend. My goodness it’s chilly! About 10 deg C outside last night and the house has no heating. Brr!

No rain for 48 hours, forecast of fine and sunny 30 degrees. 8am and it’s already 27 deg. I think it mat get hotter.

Hope it stays fine tomorrow. The lawn seriously needs mowing!

The weather this past week has been simply appalling. It has rarely stopped raining for more than a couple of hours, and even when it has the humidity has been terrible.

Moss is already starting to grow in the low bits of the garden and if the ground doesn’t dry soon I may have a mosquito problem.

As a result, the vege garden is looking very sad. The tomatoes don’t like the damp and caterpillars have been having a field day on the them, as well as the capsicums, parseley, strawberries and the orange tree. I haven’t been able to spray because of the wet.

So far though, the cucumber vine is looking good and the lime tree appears immune to whatever bug is ravaging the orange tree.

Fingers crossed!
