North Straddie, Ron. Macleay Island, my nook, overlooks it. I know the area well from my sailing days. The Guinness and Oyster days were great at the Little Ships Club-so named after the'escape' from. Dunkirk. If it advances southwards, then we will get some smokey days! Pleasant here today...

The high twenties here. For the most part blue skies, but a slight smoke haze drifting from the mainland. No rain and now rain insight for the next couple of weeks. Sooner, rather than later water restrictions are like to be imposed even if we do receive our reticulated supply from aquifers on...

My reptile friends are very welcome to hang out in my trees and cull the flying fox population, but NOT in my shed. Some places are sacred. This one was a male which are puny in comparison with the ladies which can grow in excess of 5 metres. The relatively warm winter we had accounted for his...

A pleasant 33 C in Brisbane, but slightly cooler on the coast. Still no rain forecast. Not looking to a summer of bush fires for the folks that dwell on the mainland. Last week was interesting getting a 3m+ Scrub Python our from my garden shed. When bagged he weighed around the15kg mark. The...

What storms, Spooky? The forecast for yesterday was rain (none) and the 'chance of a shower", didn't happen. Maybe one day there is a chance that the Met mob might get it right. Quite warm this morning at 0700, maybe that storm might go into labour today!

Clear, about 20 C. Forecast, specularly, to warm up over the coming days. Best wishes to all around the globe. Cheers, M

Happy Birthday CW and many, many more! Cheers, Merv

Don't worry. Ron. it st all downhill once you pass 70. Keep smiling! Merv

Clear, but cold with westerly winds, typical for this time of winter. Max 21 C forecast, but feeler cooler. Career-wise,(9 years in the Brit army. Served in Brunei, Borneo Berlin and Belfast. Could never escape the bloody 'B''s. Registered Nurse (RMN) psychiatric firstly, then general(SRN), a...

What happened to the forecast rain, Ron? Quite cool last night,9c. More of those elusive showers predicted today. A top of 22c.

Fine and a pleasant 24C. Rain forecast for the next two days, which will not apparently benefit drought-affected inland areas. Sorry for the lack of posts, not at the top of my game at present. I.m sure that Ron has kept you up to date,

Bit cloudy and a tad cooler, probably around 22C. No rain as yet,. Congratulations, Chris!

Cool with a watery sun trying to penetrate l cloud cover, The Met Office stated that today was to be sunny, but what the hell would they know about the weather. Supposedly a top of 24 C, but it doesn't feel anything like it.

Patience is a virtue seth the Lord and my mother. However, that doesn't get the bloody job done! Ron is spot on about 'tradies': it is a universal trait.

Having been attacked by both, in my second 'career' as an ex Broadmoor Nurse and by my wife, I concur. When in doubt, head for the Hills. Cold tonight and I can't find my favourite Teddy Bear. Weather looks to warm up next week, bur little chance of rain.

On this stretch of Queenland's Barbary Coast, Vit B complex is considered to be a useful deterrent. It won't work until there is sufficient amounts of it in the system. The theory is that your sweat eventually becomes unpalatable to the little B"s As an old jungle soldier, we found the best...

I don't know. It's dark and cold here. May your God bless you. ZZZZZ Merv PS. Ask Ron. if he is awake.

Clear skies, but a cool 20C. Nightimes 7/8 C. We, fortunately, haven't got the high winds and Antarctic/Arctic conditions that are affecting the poor 'Mexicans' way down south!

Cool,23Cm but feels colder from southerly winds. Showers and much the same temps are forecast until at least mid next week. It seems that the Moreton Bay Islands will have a fair chance of rain, as opposed to the mainland. These things we can handle on the Isle of Macleay, Queensland's answer to...

Windy here too, Ron, but not related to the weather! Actually, the sun shines and we have somewhere in the order of 24C.
