Welcome summer!!

Today is the last day of spring but I wouldn't call it spring in Queensland.  Summer hit early and parts of the state had severe thunderstorms, dust storms and now bushfires in Central QLD. I am sure they would like to have rain falling now to stop these bad fires. I thought I heard on the news last night about a tropical cyclone on a lookout in the coral sea. If it forms and hit inlands of further coastal towns in QLD, I would say its abit early to have a tropical cyclone now!  Normally we don't hear about them until January. Further north and west in our state had heatwaves this week with the temperatures in the 40s (degree Celsius). Now that is what you call a true heatwave!!! About two days ago we had a hot day with the temperatures in the high 30s down here but it was a gusty dry wind that made the afternoon quite uncomfortable.

I am still studying my course.  Only have got two assignments to finish off by next Friday which means a lot of late nights coming up. Its hard to do any work while its so summery here and have no air conditioner.

December will be a busy month with break up parties in both craft and bowling. My parents will have their 50th Wedding Anniversary before Christmas but I will organised a surprise event at their home address in the New Year.

Also I have Christmas preparations to do after I complete these assignments. For once I am looking forward to this Christmas as I will be celebrating the festive season with both of my daughters this time. Rachel will arrive at Christmas Eve to stay at Monique's for a couple of weeks. I will be having our festive season dinner over at Monique's.

Better sign off as I have one assignment to finish off before I head off to do some errands this afternoon. Yesterday I spent over 6 hours on completing one final draft of the assignment. My hand was so sore by the time I finished.  Might you these assignments I am working on are not little couple of pages. Most of them are about 20-30 pages long. The last assignment will be over 50 pages to complete.  

Have a good weekend!  I will have two craft meets on this weekend which I will have to plan for later on today as well.
