The non event in Perth

Last night was a rare night where there was a luna eclipse, Perth was also the one place where one could view this wonderful spectacle…hmmmm with the weather being cloudy,misty with rain…we never got to see the eclipse…….I however did take a photo of the ‘non event’

 


Winter

Winter has slowly made it’s presence known here in Perth, am I happy ? No. After living in Wellington New Zealand(one of the 3 windiest cities in the world along with Chicago and Perth)  for 8 winters I can honestly say I am not a winter person at all. We have had some rain, however  after last year’s driest winters on record we need a very wet , wet winter to help Perth’s water shortage. It is the wind I loathe, here in Perth it seems to blast its way making our rather temperate winter very cool – I keep saying I need to fly north to the warmer climes…I wish. We are very lucky that our winter lasts the 3 calendar months it is given…then spring comes with so much warmth and colour – I can’t wait !

Physically I am getting stronger after my nasty accident in which I am happy to announce that the  Motor Vehicle Accident Insurance Commission has accepted liability, which means I will be getting compensation which is wonderful, however nothing can take back the pain, the forced sick leave, the problems that my daughters have been through etc. to be honest I am glad to be alive.

I do have to say without dear , dear friends my recovery would have been much longer, they know who they are and I thank them from the bottom of my heart. I hope to return to full time work very soon.
