Summer is fading and Autumn is here.....

.....but you wouldn't really know.

The weather over the past fortnight has been superb - clear, blue skies, gentle southerly breezes, low humidity and temperatures in the 24 -27 degree range.
This is Autumn far-north coast style and significantly different to that we experienced in Canberra: the trees don't becomes masses of golds and reds and then lose their leaves, the shrubs and garden beds still bloom, everyone still wears shorts and T-shirts, the beaches are still peopled and the only significant change is a single blanket now pulled up at night.

It's hard to believe that exactly 12 month's ago we exchanged contracts and were counting down to the 16th. of  May, the date that we left Canberra's cold and moved to Yamba.

Rosie the cat likes it in the afternoons now,  when the sun is low enough to shine through the living-room window and warm the end of the lounge suite for an hour.....

Aaaah! It's a rotten life but some cats just have to put up with it.

Meanwhile, out the back in the sweat-shop.......

Shirley continues to sew up weight bags for the residents' exercise classes at the local nursing home.
Sometimes the language that comes from this part of the premises leaves something to be desired!
