Contrasts

What an astounding continent. A ginormous cyclone in North Queensland, disastrous flooding further south in the same state, flash flooding and incredible thunderstorms in Victoria and meanwhile in Perth in WA bush fires have claimed forty homes and are raging in the suburbs.

Compared to all that the recent heatwave here in Sydney was a minor concern. Still, we're all thankful for the cool change that set in yesterday arvo after a week of temperatures around forty degrees centigrade. It was too hot to do anything much, too hot for the beach if you can believe that. Enjoying the cool breeze coming into the house right now seems like a luxury.
