I know the Umina area....we used to holiday in the area when I was a little girl.

We also used to go to the Long Jetty area where my great uncle lived....the weather was much the same all the way up the coast.

Looking forward to it tomorrow then, David.

I have to get out in the garden and clean out all the tomatoes that boiled in their

skins.

By the way, how did your chives and parsley growing go?

We rarely go over 35......but that's with 99% humidity!!  At least once or twice every summer Darwin has the lowest maximum of any Australian capital city😎

We have been waiting all of your summer for our monsoon - supposedly it started this week but there hasn't been much rain yet.  I love the wet season but we don't seem to be going to have one this year.☹️
