It is here! Friday sees us at September 1st and it means Spring for us here in Australia. The Winter was actually quite a mild one and was not too bad at all. I think with the mild Winter and the temperatures that you have been enduring that we will be in for a hotter Spring and Summer. They are already saying that the bushfire season will be a bad one. I will use the time that I have over the next few months to be as prepared as I can for Christmas and the hotter months ahead. I will be working 4 days this week but will be back to my normal hours at work very soon. I am pleased, I have a lot to do over the next few months.
