Thanks, mate.This will give you and idea of Sydney CBD at Chrissie time.
Sydney Christmas | City of Sydney - What’s On
The magic of Christmas in the citywhatson.cityofsydney.nsw.gov.au
Very much of a light show and really strange considering how hot it can be but still people are wearing Christmas hats and warm coats.
Part of it, yes. But the market is right in the city centre and surrounded by shops, department stores, etc. and we look for something there as well.
You dont have very friendly neibors. Why was he/she whinging about you?
She does it about everyone to everyone.
It's recent in as much as those temps have become a regular thing and that peak temps around 40° C had been unheard of when I was a child and up to the 90s. For the last five years we've had those temps each year with just the duration varying. It clearly is a result of climate change.
You and yours too Thomas, Jessica and Sooz.It's recent in as much as those temps have become a regular thing and that peak temps around 40° C had been unheard of when I was a child and up to the 90s. For the last five years we've had those temps each year with just the duration varying. It clearly is a result of climate change.
Sadly, last summer was already an exception. Although we had a short hot period of 40°, there was more rain and moderate temps the whole summer. The result is this:
This is what a lawn can look like if watered regularly by sufficient rain. The same lawn but in better condition. Just compare it with my pic above.
I'm waiting for the next summer with anxiety because I'm afraid it might be a Sahelian one again and our groundwater problems will aggravate.
BTW, Merry Christmas to all of you!
Yes, there are and mine is closest to the city. Here's a pic showing what it looked like in the 80s. I'd agree that they did a good job so that I could move in.

Hope you had a great day Sooz. As my family went away I had a quiet Chrissie Day at home.
I had a great time.
You shouldn't be surprised because I mentioned that quite often on here because we are haunted by those temps every year. Evidence needed?

That was supposed to be a lawn. Pic from my backyard.

That's what nature looked like as early as July. Not much difference to the Sahelian zone, is there?

Thanks. Yes, I like the place very much. You're right, the lawn takes some effort also because this is just one of three parts to be mowed. That's why I bought a robotic lawnmower that does the job on all three areas and makes me blissfully happy. The lawn never looked so good provided there's also enough rain.Great photo, bet that lawn would take a bit of effort to mow each time. Looks to be a very nice location next to the lake there too.
