Summer or Winter ....

Everybody was complaining about the weather being so hot the last couple of weeks which was 41 to 45 degrees in some places and reached up to 30 degrees in the mountains where I work. It's hot & sticky with only fans to cool us down at my workplace. I'd rather work from home where I can have the airconditioning on. Swimming pools & beaches are the popular place to be but not for me. I'd rather stay indoor except Sundays.

Lots of properties lost due to fire...fire men & voluntary workers working around the clock putting off bush fire.

In a few weeks time it will be cool again but the humidity will also be lower which is still vulnerable to bush fire. I like autumn though... and when winter arrives we'll be complaining of being too cold. Someone asked me once, which one do I prefer, winter or summer. For me both hot or cold climate don't really give me any big problems other than being a little bit hot or cold. I don't mind both because it's only 3 months or so... there's always something to look forward to.

If it's too hot I go under the shade or use umbrella..that is when I'm outdoor. If it's too cold, put few layers of clothing... that will do me.

Today it's predicted to be 35 degrees.

It's the New Year



My New Year's resolution... one and foremost is buy a property (home) which hopefully will happen early part of the year. And then to save and concentrate on paying my mortgage.This might mean I have to forgo some of the things I normally do. I hope everything works well for us especially when the economic problem is expected to get worse this year. People are selling their houses and mortgage interest rates are getting low and hopefully reduce more, so we thought this is a good time to buy with careful planning of course.

The others... brought forward from last year.
