Good morning everyone another hot steamy day. The forecast for Christmas day is looking pretty good with temperatures in the mid 20s (perfect)
It is the summer solstice and in rockhampton at solar noon (11.58)there will be no shadows. The town of Rockhamton is on the Tropic of Capricorn as far as I know the railway line still goes down one the streets.
To celebrate the solstice I was out early buying 6 litres of milk, potatoes, masses of bacon and a few other items to tide me over the hell of Christmas shopping.
The Corellas and Galahs were out and about too
It rained last night but I don’t think there was much in it. There was a brief storm early evening lasting about tow or three minutes which blew pot plants over and made a lot of noise, then it was gone. Just 6.5 mm when I checked this morning.
The postman cometh, Well, Australia Post’s Startack did - they delivered my box of books from the UK Amazon.
Very happy, that should keep me going for a while.
Anyway enjoy your Monday.
Take care…
