I find working two days in a row difficult. The second day is a struggle tired- and body-wise. But today was productive - finished the day's work around 3pm (I started at 12.30pm), so I could get back onto work that had been waiting since last week. Finished that, and in the last hour I got back to cleaning up files that I haven't had time to do since the start of October.

Yesterday I asked M what was happening over Christmas. She said she didn't know ;) The office closes down between Christmas and New Year, but I said that I'd like to take the week before Christmas off as my best friend will be out from Zurich with her bub. M said that was fine and that we should lock it in now. So my last day is 15th December. She then asked when I wanted to come back and suggested 2nd week of January, and then said 15th January. I said I could come back the 8th if she wanted, but she said the 15th was fine (the area I work in will probably be pretty slow). It will be a pain losing 3 weeks wages, but I can use the longer break. Will also give some time for me to go out places and work on the anxiety.

What's going on with the web? I haven't been able to access our Bigpond usage for a couple of days, Amazon is being a pain in the arse...

Overnight was the coldest Sydney November morning since 1905 - just 8.3C (46F). And the wind today was frigid. Over the past few days there's been snow in Tasmania, Victoria, NSW and Queensland (that was a 50 year event apparently). Remember, it's almost summer here. And there were bushfires burning (still are) in the Blue Mountains while this was going on. Not sure whether they got it, but they were predicting snow in the bushfire area.

Hurrah for productive days.And for you keeping going.

The internet is being a total tossbucket everywhere, it seems. And in particular, the site where I acquire *cough* tv eps has been down for at least 24 hours. gggrrrrr.

Snow? In Taz? My relies will not be pleased; that's why they left Scotland!! Snow in the bushfire area would be good, I'm guessing? I have a client currently in Melbourne and he was complaining about the cold. I told hime we were lucky to get to 8C in the daytime right now! And reminded my sister (near Perth) of the snowdrifts we used to have to walk through to go to school in winter. She wasn't impressed.

Actually, they really didn't want snow in the bushfire area. It probably wouldn't put it out, but it would stop them doing back burning.

Ah. Hence my questionage. I guess thats a benefit of living in a country where it's fairly permanently wet so we don't have such things. I do recall using snow to put out a campfire one time; shame it doesn't work on a larger scale tho.

The weather up here has been nutty - we had a swelteringly hot day complete with a storm that completely missed us (not even a spot of rain); the next day there were freezing winds through the place, with a bush fire on the Sunshine Coast and SNOW in the south.

I'm a little worried to go outside today *g*

We've been having similarly bizarre weather - not quite as drastic, but tuesday was 30C and stunning, and yesterday was 20C and pissed down with rain.

I am fascinated by the snow in Queensland.
