Monsoon Trough

The wet season is trying to start so today we had to do a bit of a cleanup as there was a low hovering in the gulf threatening to dump a bit of rain in our area of the tropics.  As I type the low has moved considerably in land, but we all know one low is […]

White good shopping

Well it had to happen we went shopping and replaced the items that had died.  I now have an upside down fridge, which is bigger and so much better.  Peter has a new washing machine which is also a lot bigger at 8kgs, maybe one day I will learn how to use it :). Nice […]

When we bought the […]
