They forget they're not in Melbourne anymore. Mind you, rather than asking is it going to be cold outside, they now ask is it going to storm!<br /><br />As my Dad would say, there's a method in his madness ;-)Littlemissairgaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14759336965970856540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495198733430494988.post-26075688324863470992010-12-17T22:47:31.669+11:002010-12-17T22:47:31.669+11:00Blogging is like a diary in a way.

He would listent to the local forecast on the wireless, then go outside and tap the thermometer, and inspect it over the top of his specs.<br /><br />And write it down. In a diary bound in black leatherette with red corners. In his terrible handwriting.<br /><br />(Dare I say it, he also recorded rainfall too?! And regulalry tapped and inspected a barometer as well?)<br /><br />Thank you Al, for allowing me a fond trip down memory lane.Diminishing Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02072304081006798910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495198733430494988.post-74564232463507011082010-08-24T06:16:17.375+10:002010-08-24T06:16:17.375+10:00This comment has been removed by the author.Diminishing Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02072304081006798910noreply@blogger.com
