Ha.

Born bred Cane Toad, lived all my life here in Qld.

Was down in Canberra when it was as Bobby described recently. Absolutely loved it.

I have never seen Autumn colours live before. Just amazing how the trees change their foliage/appearance in the space of a mere few days.

I confess we had the comfort of an air conditioned home with floor heating etc, a very mansion type joint, so I have to concede it might be a tad different in less salubrious accommodations.

The Nicholls/Gungahlin area is very visitor friendly, we enjoyed the Casey Jones Hotel, the Spicy Affair and the Cafe on a corner in Nicholls. Best curry we have ever had at Spicy Affair. Best haircut/beard cut I have ever had at Casey Market Town. A young, (I think) Vietnamese bloke. Fantastic! Go there if you are in Canberra. He did a great job, even using sign language!

That Tudor Hotel, the George Harcourt Inn in Nicholls on a cold night, lovely.

I'll take that over a stinking hot humid Qld Summer any time.

Mind you, watching netball in a 30 knot breeze at Calwell (the other side of the Canberra universe from where we were (yes, my Brother's home) with a chill factor below 0 was a tad challenging a Saturday or so ago but.....I'll take it. I am a sport nut, especially when there are Family playing.

I've never been to Canberra - it would be too cold for me in winter there.

Last night was no colder than 5.8°C at 6:30 in the morning. I had 10 long burning tea lights in my bedroom. That did the job to keep the bedroom warm until this morning. I slept in my underwear.

It's dropping down to 6 degrees tonight in Melbourne.

I have just lit up some tea lights in this lounge room. I will light some more for the toilet room, just before I go to bed. Some nights I get up and go to the toilet to find that even when the tea lights have finished burning, the toilet room is still warm.

Last night, I put some boards over the window that does not completely close. But, I usually just close the door to the room. Not using more than one heater anymore. The circuit breaker cut in when I had two heaters going, plus the fry pan and microwave going at the same time.

Are you having another dig at Monk regarding how warm his dog is during the winter?

I think it will get to 5°C this coming morning, given that the weather charts are showing southerly winds coming right up from Tasmania. And Thursday might get very cold. In 3 weeks, I would say that it will be freezing weather in 3 weeks time, unless we get a rain event.

The veranda is shielded by coverings. The dogs also have tents to sleep under so that the cold weather is not that bad. I would assume that Monk would do similar with Socks.
