i'd rather talk about the weather than talk about john howard

The weather here (midnorth coast of New South Wales) is crazy. Feverishly hot a few days ago and now it's flooding; a state of emergency. And we ran over a thumbtack with the stroller a few days ago so I've been getting around like a donkey, with the baby in the pouch and a backpack and carrying a golf umbrella. Phew! Going out for the day today with some friends but hopefully get to some serious posting later on.
