Merry CHRISTmas!



We are puffing and panting as the weather is handing out it's Summer best this CHRISTmas. It has been very hot all week and I am so tired...

37C yesterday (98.6F),

39C today (102.2F),

41C (105.8F) tomorrow (CHRISTmas Eve)

and 37C (98.6F) on CHRISTmas day!
I suppose that is better than the 42C (107.6F) they forecast earlier in the week. Not much fun when there is so much to prepare, but we will get there. CHRISTmas lunch will consist of cold meats and salads, followed by my Mum's favourite CHRISTmas pudding and brandy custard YUM!


I want to wish everyone one a very Blessed CHRISTmas and a may 2012 be all that you hope for...

Love, peace and joy to you all!


HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESUS!!

  11. Merry Christmas Tania! I could not imagine a hot Christmas...but weather should have nothing to do with the Birth of Christ! And in Delaware, we haven't had too much snow in December, ours comes mostly in Jan/Feb. love,andrea

  14. Wishing you and your family a Happy Festive Season too Tania.
    Don't even that heat, but it's a dry heat isn't it? We are having a mild summer to date, bit humid though with lots of rain events happening along the coast over the next few days. cheers Wendy

  15. Yes Lisa we do have an air conditioner, but it really struggles with the high heat, it is 20 years old and is a ducted/water one on the roof...no good at all when the weather is humid. We do have a swimming pool too, which comes in handy quite regularly through the Summer months :)

  17. I hope had a terrific Christmas.

    The temperature in our part of SA peaked at just over 40 degrees the day before Christmas. Hot hot hot. Christmas day was perfect though. Not to hot and not to cold.

    I look forward to following your journey in 2012.
