    Well, given your nick, it seems you @Scott No Mates and I could be kindred spirits if that holds true.

    :D

    It's ****** freezing out there - snow on the Barringtons - which means I'm off to do some painting instead of planting out my massively sprouting table grape vines. They've been inside, in their pots, for 2 weeks now, and are nearly climbing out the kitchen window

    Welcome to my world. I don't think it has got to double digits and has been effectively below zero all day probably. And I'm not game to look.

    I don't mind it cold, but windy or wet combined make it unpleasant.

    Newcy was about 14⁰ when you posted this at 11 am..
    Canberra had a maximum of 7.3⁰ today. 5.5⁰ at 11 am.

    Sorry, I don't accept that Newcy was cold :-(

    Did you feel that wind! The "feels like" temp hovered between 6-7 outside ... bit crispy chicken for me

    p.s. It's Newy (no 'c') ... or Newie for the posh ones ... if you're going to be a local ... ;)

    My apologies for the bad characterisation.

    "Feels like" I don't think got above zero here today. Which is why we're going to be moving.

    Where to retire? [NSW]

    Down at the athletics track with my son this morning so he could do some hurdles training.

    Air temp 13C, BOM reported feels like 2C - the wind was bitterly cold and quite strong, but at least it was nice-ish in the sun.

    Completed the 2021 census this afternoon.

    Fingers crossed I'll still be around on 10 August.

    A vegetarian meal for us is pizza as I don't consider bacon and pepperoni to be real meat. Neither is cheese.

    Things are getting really serious when QLD has cancelled a public holiday and the Ekka.

    Ekka | Royal Queensland Show 2021 - Cancelled

    Bloody heck. It means rescheduling the rostered days off days for the extra-extra-long weekend.

    My partner eats Arnott's Shapes biscuits with dip. That is so wrong and completely UnAustralian.
