[Strayleaves]

You know it's nearly summer.......

, when you call in at the servo for petrol, and they have their signs up...........

[sylvi]

Its Autumn here in the UK darling.xxxx

[Strayleaves in reply to sylvi]

Hi Sylvi ,

Yes , your winter coming soon .....

I don't like the winter ......does it get really cold there, in midwinter. Do you get snow? Somehow I don't think my body would like all that cold weather over there.

Hope your back is improving .....

[sylvi in reply to Strayleaves]

[ruth_p]

I wish it was still summer here!

[Gnarli]

Good grief!

[popsmith1874]

Yes not much snow but wet and damp, doesn't help the joints sore and creaking

[dtech]

Roll on Boxing Day. Leave the damp uk weather behind for a few weeks. Abu Dhabi and Australia 😃

We are in Melbourne this time. Mainly for the tennis. Although we will have trips out. Doubt if We will go to Sydney as stayed there last time.

[Someonesmother in reply to dtech]

Where in Australia are you visiting?

[dtech in reply to Someonesmother]

Melbourne, do the tennis. Two weeks in January

[Someonesmother in reply to dtech]

Ahhh bring lots of sunscreen and a big wide brim hat then. I hope you get some time to do a little travel outside Melbourne too.

[Strayleaves in reply to dtech]

Lovely ....

My youngest would love to go to the tennis .....it's a dream of his ......

I hope you have a wonderful holiday ......keep us posted ......

I love going to Sydney ......but I really love going north !!

😃

[dtech in reply to Strayleaves]

Where are you? The open is easy to get tickets for in early rounds.

This is my wife's last grand slam on her list. Done all the others

[Strayleaves in reply to dtech]

Thanks dtech

We are up Newcastle way....Stockton beach area. I guess you get your tennis tickets on line ? Two weeks will be lovely for you both !

[dtech in reply to Strayleaves]

She will either get ground pass tickets when we are there, which are quite easy to get in the first week. Or maybe get show court tickets online. Haven't decided yet.

[Someonesmother]

Yep and you drive to Sydney and miss the bushfire by 20 minutes that closes the highway in both direction for hours. Yay me!!!

[dtech in reply to Someonesmother]

Did Sydney last time we came and Perth.

[Someonesmother in reply to dtech]

Glad you are getting to see a bit of our country

[dtech in reply to Someonesmother]

We did quite a bit last time we came. This time doing Ulurah for a day, then tennis and a few tours.

[Someonesmother in reply to dtech]

Wow Uluru in one day, that will be a packed day. Will you fly in early morning and fly out that evening? It is an amazing spiritual place and changes colour throughout the day as the sun moves.

Glad you are doing a few tours too so much to see in this big country

[dtech in reply to Someonesmother]

One day there.and doing the evening tour. Then flying back to Melbourne the next day.😃

[Hidden]

You must live in Austraila!! When my cousin first moved there, he was gob smacked at all the dangerous spiders that live there.

[dtech in reply to Hidden]

Did meet a few last time😳

[Someonesmother in reply to Hidden]

Yes and yes spiders, snakes, fish, jelly fish we have it all but we never think too much about it really. I guess we grow up with it so it is usual for us.

[Hidden in reply to Someonesmother]

His Oz wife thought it hysterical when my cousin was terrified the first time he heard the Australian Cicada.

[Someonesmother in reply to Hidden]

Oh that is so funny. I love the sound of cicadas it makes me think of summer.

[Strayleaves in reply to Hidden]

😀. I guess it would be funny 😂, especially a thousand of them , on a hot summer night.!!! Lol

[dtech in reply to Hidden]

You've got bears where you live though Sue! 😳😳😳

[Hidden in reply to dtech]

Good point there dtech!! lol

[dtech in reply to Hidden]

Mind you I have played golf in Skukuza national park South Africa, where there's lions, and crocodiles in the water hazards! That was a bit scary 😳
