[Carly Rae]

Ah! Thats awesome. We dont get snow here

 

[Rocklone Miniature Horses]

Nope, you don't! I melted in oz. I could not tolerate it haha. I don't do heat well.

 

[Carly Rae]

Haha when I lived out west our thermometer stopped at 50 degrees c. It couldn't go any higher but it was hotter than 50 haha.

 

[Rocklone Miniature Horses]

loooooord. We are lucky if we hit 20C here in summer. Over that, we melt. The news covers it. no joke hahaha

 

[Carly Rae]

Haha I hate the heat as well Id much rather winter. Right now its 29 degrees.

LOl Carly lives in the top part of Oz and I live down the bottom of the country. We can sometimes get 4 seasons in one day. The other day it was 45 degrees and the following it was 15 degrees.

Its generally warm most of the time where Carly is ( which im jealous of ) lol

 

[Rocklone Miniature Horses]

I started in Sydney, which was fine i could do that, but up top....noooooooo way. Darwin was torture. lol

 

[Carly Rae]

Haha I have never heard Australia called "Oz" before lol.

Yeah we are pretty lucky with our weather, but these holidays are killing me. 9 weeks at home in the hot weather. Oh well.

 

[Carly Rae]

Don't know if you have heard of Eromanga before. That was where I used to live. It is the furtherest town from the sea and had a population of 30, a school of 6!

 

[Rocklone Miniature Horses]

Haha really? We brits can not even say Australia lol its all oz or kiwi for the NZ folk. We are the lords of abbreviations.

Eromanga sounds awesome! lol

 

[Carly Rae]

Eromanga was awesome, I wish I could go back. It was like freedom overload there!

And they had rodeos!

Oh and we had motorbikes and buggies and all. I got this four wheeler for Christmas one year. And I was rocking those swimming goggles

I could use a little of that warm and dry about now. Our winter weather has been very odd. Not much snow (for us... still have about 18 inches) hardly cold(again ..for us, its been as low as -20C at night and averaged from -5C to -10C during the day) and now its barely making it below freezing and yesterday it rained

. I'm expecting daffodils any day now...is it really only January? Wish I could share some pictures but unfortunately I don't know how to get the pictures from my phone onto my laptop and then post them here.

Loved the pictures of Banner playing in the 'snow' lol. He looks like he thinks that bit of flour that was spilled on the ground is a lot of fun.

 

[Rocklone Miniature Horses]

We have daffodils etc growing. Its not normal lol

Here's one shot of ice on our place. We were on the southern edge of the same storm that gave secouno all of that snow.
