'When it comes to elections, it is about voting in the lesser of the evils' That, Buff, is precisely the problem. In this country apathy rules and that is a dangerous state of affairs. We have slipped into the US model of personality, over policy. It has come down to which side can tell the...

'Federal election weekend, why do we bother?' Because it is our patriotic duty to ensure that the most competent corrupt candidates are chosen to rip us off for the next three years. Weather-wise, much the same as you, Ron

Its raining today and there was a rumble of thunder, or was that Merv flushing over an ocean away. I hope the day passes quickly and the exam is nothing more than routine. Thanks Buff. All thing shall pass, or looking up old friends. One must maintain a sense of humour under such circumstances

Still hovering around the 25* mark and 13* nighttime. Some rain due over the next few days, but nothing spectacular. Tomorrow is my colonoscopy day so you all will know what I will be doing! I have lost count on many I have had over the past 26 years. Is there some sort of scheme, kinda like...

Bit chilly first thing, but developing into a nice sunny day. This the second time in a month that we have been without a landline or mobile telephone service. Bosnia has a more reliable set up! This is not a State where you need medical help in a hurry! At least, looking on the bright side...

Weather is manageable. Cloudy, no rain today, but getting a little chilly. I have a pulse. Say No More... C'est La Vie.

Much the same down the road from you, Ron. Not much more than a drizzle, but heavier rain forecast for tomorrow. Not the weather for lawn mowing. Keep your chin up, Mate

Hi Everybody, I had a few 'ordinary' days, but I am OK, thank you. Such things happened when I am nearing the end of a 'Stelara' treatment cycle. Cloudy today, but at least the heavy showers have ceased. It is around 25* and a touch humid.

Oh, Dear, Poo!, Considering our collective problems, I would have thought that this was the last thing we would want to discuss! mind you, we do have considerable expertise in this field. 26*, today with quite frequent showers, some brief, but heavy. Much the same forecast through to late...

Back to 30*, fine, sunny with light winds. No rain forecast.

That's much more like it, CM. 23* is pleasant. Cheers, Merv

Much as Ron has described, pleasant SE winds for the past few days which keep the island mosquitoes semi-grounded. As winter approaches they seem to be more active, anxious to get the last bite in before sniffing it!

I haven't heard of the Certified brand, CM. Are they local ( Canadian) products, or, made, like most things nowadays, in China? I have Toro, which I think was manufactured in the US. It is cumbersome, but self- propelled and reliable. The old Australian Victa brand is now made China too nowadays.

Much cooler overnight. Lovely morning today, with, any Japanese members will excuse me,' a slight nip in the air'. Hopefully, Autumn has arrived. minimal rain and cooling SE winds for the rest of the week.

Sounds like a promising start to the bank robbing and mugging season CM!

Little warmer than yesterday, which was about 23*, At present about 25 or so, with a max of 27 forecast. Still some showers around and SE winds 10-15knts. Warmer weather its with usual predicted accuracy 'suspected' for next week.

This the second day of fairly heavy showers. Most of the effects of ex-cyclone Trevor had seen heavy falls in the drought-affected inland areas which is great news for those who need it. 26* today, more rain due.

Spooky, I will swap you weather for a day! Hot, horribly humid and windless. 33*. Ron50 and I are fairly close neighbours ( by Australian standards )and he and I are sick of the heat. Wednesday might bring a drop in temperatures and a reasonable amount of the wet stuff.

Hot and sunny. 34* with N/E wins which are not cooling. Glad to see that Cyclones Trevor and Veronica has crossed the coast and are dissipating. As far as I know, the damage has been less than could have been expected.

Brisbane area Partly cloudy. Medium (40%) chance of showers, most likely in the late morning and afternoon. The chance of a thunderstorm from late this morning, mainly in the west. Light winds. The official forecast for my local area. As Ron has mentioned the real action is in the tropical...
