Ok that's weird, I'm sure the time on your posts were 4 something! I got up at 5.30 because junior was getting picked up by hubbies mate to go work on the seating for the Grand Prix and I thought I should say hello! Ugh tooo early!

On a side note I can't believe how much she's getting paid to stick stickers on seats! Thank the lord for penalty rates!


So why are you up at 5!

It's turned to Summer in Autumn with continuous 30 degree days.

We could do with some rain.
Average temperature has been warmer this month than it was in December, January and February.

Lucky there's no such thing as man-made climate change or one might become concerned that one might see more of this in future years.

I thought the racist scumbag Dr Mahatir took the cake with his views that
