Yesterday the temperature reached 33C, so I tried to stay inside, only venturing out in the late afternoon to water the garden. It had started to cool down a bit by then

beautiful as always !
speaking of CD's - just a note to tell you again how much I enjoy the ones you sent me :-)

[myrhiann]

I'm glad you enjoy them. I might get my act together and send you some more.

Being good with indoor plants would probably be more helpful in your climate, and they make such a difference to the interior of a home. I used to have lots, but I seem to have lost the knack with them.

Pretty roses!
:)

Thank you.

From 33 down to 13 is an incredible temperature difference.
I LOVE the colours of all your roses. Just Joey is my favourite shade of peachy-orange.
Wonderful, all of them!

That kind of temperature variation is not unusual. You can usually rely on Antarctica sending cold air to replace the heat.

Just Joey is one of my favourites also. I am getting so much pleasure from the garden this summer. It has been too long between roses.

You live in a crazy climate. At least here we can depend on it being stinking hot every single day except for a few months when it is freezing every single day.

We LOVE those roses :-) we especially like the dark pink one you don't know the name of as it is so elegently simple.
Nah, take that back. We especially like them all for different reasons!

I like the fact that you can rely on it mostly being cooler here. I couldn't cope with Darwin. My brother and his wife used to live there, and they wanted me to come and visit. They thought I could come home from Thailand and stop over. There were 2 reasons I didn't want to; firstly, it would have meant travelling Qantas, and secondly after enduring hot temps in Thailand for 4 weeks I was not keen on visiting another stinking hot place on the way home. Strangely Hobart always turned on a hot weather event for my arrival home, when I was longing to be cold, hoping for 18 rather than 30. A lot of people retire here from other states because they can't take the hot weather any more.

"I like the fact that you can rely on it mostly being cooler here. "

Hehe :-)

Yup I think I am going to retire to Hobart too! For the same reason.

I think often we are hotter than Thailand anyway. So I think it was a good call. You really need to come in the dry, in a good year when it is quite cold.
Granny came and visited once and swore "Never Again!!!"

A few years after that they went around Ayers Rock but declined to come the extra 1 1/2 hour plane trip here. I was so miffed!

I like the shape fo the pink rose too. I used to have a similar one in a different colour in my last garden as well. The shape reminds me of a ballerina's skirt.
