The ants around here lately have new little anthills around new holes all over the footpaths and lawns and rain has been predicted, but not much.

The Indian Ocean is quite warm at present and I think that may be causing the humidity on the sea breeze which feels warmer if that makes sense.Mimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-72728411658207196462013-04-18T19:54:47.721+08:002013-04-18T19:54:47.721+08:00Oh I have always believed the oldtimers forecasts ...Oh I have always believed the oldtimers forecasts they know:) Being a farmer I trust the knowledge of those who have gone before.

I hadn't know about the "second Sunday" before, but it seems to be true. here in Adelaide now the days are still warm, but there is chill in the breeze and the nights are definitely getting colder. I'm into my winter pyjamas now. Soon enough there will be a t-shirt added and fluffy socks too.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.com
