Well the 22nd of January 2012 was a cool overcast and showery day. A lot of people put off beach trips and other summer activities. Although many events went ahead the weather took the gloss of them. Car races with a wet track made it a different type of event with lots of bumps evident as drivers fought the wet tracks.
A lot of people have not had much of a holiday
With many people back to work this week there are many people discontented about their time off work. Most are un happy that there were only a few days that there was not rain or cold winds. Some went away and tried to make the best of it but many stayed home and just worked around the house. I wonder if DIY sales were up. Saw the people next door at a big DIY shop last week. Lets hope that people can go back to work and be refreshed and motivated anyway.
Weather not at all like summer
Continued rain overcast skies and cool conditions have made many planned activities impossible.
Weather still overcast and dull
Tuesday well it is still not what I would call summer. Heavy cloud cool and showery. The lawns are growing and the weeds are like “bean stalks”. We need some fine sunny days for our holidays. There is so much to do and we need some good weather to get them done.
Road toll now 18
Speed proves to be a decisive factor in road deaths over the Christmas New Year holiday period. Sad to say many have been young people who had a life time still to be lived. It seems that we all need to look at better driving and perhaps consider the risk taking that speed involves. There are no second chances when you are travelling 100 kph. In the words of the song “when will we ever learn”.
