Saturday 1st November
This is School
Fair Season in Tasmania. A wild and
unreliable season for anything. It can
be snowing, blisteringly hot, hailing, sleeting, violently windy or just mild
and sunny. The forecast for today was
for snow and storms and sleet. Oh goody…

Primary School gamely went ahead and…it was mild and sunny. With occasional sharp gusts of icy wind, just
to keep us on our toes.
Katy and I
constructed useful hi-vis backpack covers for junior bike riders. I left them in an untidy pile on a chair in
the Thomas house and they value-added and made them look very nifty. No wobbly seams to be seen…

Right now it is
seriously dark and drizzly; we are warm and cosy with the heat pump

as a sleeping bag. I have a scarf wound round
my neck, shoes and socks and jeans and several layers of singlets and t-shirt
type things. On 2XS for the past year I
have worn…as little as possible. Ann-Marie
describes all of my clothing as being a
muumuu…
