It snowed today.
Sunday, November 17, 2002 by UBoB | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Today we had our first major snowfall. When I woke this morning everything was white and pristine. There is something about a new snowfall that makes the world, for a brief moment anyway, a clean and perfect place. 
I spent the first hour of my day shoveling the walk and driveway. Then a 2 hour indulgence of my favorite winter activity, cross-country skiing. Chopped up 20 good size pieces of wood and lit a fire in the livingroom fireplace and settled down for a relaxing day with a good book. (Decided to reread an old favorite, Daniel Martin by John Fowles.)
I know eventually that the novelty of this new snowfall will wear off and the drudgery of a long, cold winter will begin to take it's toll, but for now, for today, it was an uplifting and spiritually rejuvenating experience.

It's around 30C on average now. 
Sounds good but the entire country is in the grip of the most severe drought for decades.
It's always bloody tough on the rural sector, either no rain or too much! >
And then they have to cope with the quotas placed on their exports to 'trading partners' .... > >
