Thankfully the cloud cover means that it's quite mild for early January (10C) but the sun is only appearing very briefly from time to time. Lots of sun and 17C sound truly wonderful, but I do hope you don't end up with water shortages.<br /><br />Sun, fun and happiness sounds like a good recipe for the New Year.Perpetuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01214396019726161983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3705825161954545710.post-30875724668276401492013-01-04T17:16:46.984+00:002013-01-04T17:16:46.984+00:00Thanks, Sally.

We did not have a day of snow in 2012 (which was a shame really) nor ice. We are down in our rain fall and the lakes are down. As I write a red Cardinal bird landed in the branch in front of my window but there is so much sun that I cannot take a photo! Today we will have full sun and 51 F (11 C) which is a bit cool but next week we are going back to 63 F (17C.) So we cannot complain but I wish you some sun too and a great 2013 with happiness and fun!Vagabondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774109692564954568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3705825161954545710.post-70549440951894516692013-01-04T01:07:11.919+00:002013-01-04T01:07:11.919+00:00That photo is amazing.

It is a tad warmer here, but, the sun shone all the way down as we did our 8 hour trek back home. I hope the rain has cleared for you all. What a wet year 2012 was for you.

Today has been much better, but oh, what I'd give for a touch of 22 degree heat (NOT 42!) :-) It's hard to see how 2013 could be damper than last year and it's made a good start.

It looked pretty waterlogged though - without doubt, 2013 could be less damp for you all. And Janice is right - we landed in 22 degrees (can she have really meant it was 42 degrees in Perth though - ah, yes, Perth, Australia, of course!) and went for a walk on the beach! It's raining today though and very cold. Good job the weather doesn't matter that much to us and we are warm and cosy inside, thank goodness. Much love to you and your family.
