Melbourne Weather…

Aside December 9, 2019 Paul Smith Leave a comment

If we thought the weather in New Zealand could be changeable, it was only because we’d never visited Melbourne… The day we arrived it was a cool 19 degrees and overcast, by Sunday it was the perfect summer’s day and today it’s due to top 36 degrees before it goes back down to 17 tomorrow…?!

Luckily our apartment has full air con – and heating!

  1. It’s been good to catch up with NZ friends this week… Barbara & John who we first met at Holy Trinity Tauranga a dozen years ago just as they were about to come to the UK for a year. Good to get to know them that year and to revisit them and HTT … Also got together with our Christchurch friends’ daughter Frances and her two girls for a swim and a fun afternoon. …and seeing a previous house swapper friend, Karen, on Saturday, who is going to show us her ‘almost finished’ 3 year house renovation!
