Merry Midsummer

[calissa]

A merry belated Midsummer to everyone celebrating it. And a merry Yule to all my friends in the Northern Hemisphere.

I took yesterday off to mark the occasion and spent some time cooking myself pancakes and contemplating the looming spectre of 2016.

The weather here has been all over the place. We had 37 Celsius over the weekend (with a minimum of 20 in between). However, the last two days have been much cooler and grey, with some rain. My vegetable garden is lapping it up.

I hear summer is pretty brutal out your way, so I can understand how you might long for Makuru. I do hope that summer is kind to you this year.

I'm still working out if the D'harawal Calendar is a good fit for this area, considering we are further south, less coastal and more alpine. However, according to that reckoning, we are just about to move out of warm and wet Parra'dowee and into hot and dry Burran, so that may be the last rain we see for a little while.
