Wintery Hail

A passing shower of hail marked an unexpected wave of sickness for us both. Peter got to carrying a towel around for his runny nose and Barb was bed ridden for over a week. For Barb the cold snap, combined with her tiredness, brought on a severe case of bronchitis. It was even painful to breathe! Not good. So the plans we had for the week just past were mostly overturned as we took it really easy, and tried to keep the house more warm than usual. We now think that we ought to have ducted heating installed because of the inefficient heating system in our house.
Hail might look cute nestled amongst the garden plants, but it carries with it a nasty warning to be careful and that winter is not quite done yet in Melbourne.
