Weather where you are?

We're in the middle of what they're calling "gloomy June" at present. Early winter but the lowest sunshine hours for years and plenty of rain too.
I should be out walking post-op but it's too bloody cold for that. Luckily we laid in plenty of firewood....

Couple of weeks time and there's a workshop rearrange scheduled. I've had enough of a pissy little pot-belly stove which takes ages to warm the shop. Pulling that out which makes room to shift a big shelf unit giving more floor space. Then a 16Kw LPG fan heater arrives. Instant heat.

My daughter has been in Napier for a month,  you should hear the whinging LOL.
 
Stinking HOT on the North Shore with UV crap; thankfully, if your near the lakes (Great Lakes) you have a reprieve a side from the burst thunder storms.

Seen more then the usual number of dead Wildlife on the HWY's so far this year - SAD.

Yah! - The Harley Pirates are OUT but after looking at a $17,000 1250cc KTM makes me want to SHIT ;o)

Then I remember - I DON'T RIDE ANY MORE :o

1st year with out a BIKE at 70 since I was 14 riding a 650 BSA Lightning back in 67.
 
Hopefully you can soothe some of those fires by browsing her, Ron. Big decision to hang up the leathers, mate. Good one you for knowing when the time was right. And a happy belated big-seven-o!
 
Shortest day (winter solstice) in the Southern Hemisphere today, so a bit cool this far south.

Happy summer solstice to those in the Northern Hemisphere. I trust Ron has found a way to cool down, probably getting pituded with a cold drink.

Yes! Sunrise 04:43 and Sunset 21:22 hrs today in the UK - so long day!
I expect the warlocks, druids and Pagan revellers went straight back to work after the sunrise at Stonehenge  :D

Mind you Iceland only gets just under 3 hours of darkness today, so they are probably making more of it!
 
Today there was supposed to be 14 Fa 18 Hornets from the graduating fighter pilot school at Williamtown RAAF base near Newcastle doing a mass flypast. I was passing by on a 600k trip so ducked by to watch. Seems the sea mist and low cloud got the Tigerbird formation cancelled, they flew individual circuits instead so I at least got to watch them land at close range.Even with the crap weather it was worth the hour detour on a 8hr drive.
