We were supposed to gave a storm yesterday, that changed to today but still nothing. Something is definitely in the air as I have had a headache all day and those things are rare for me.

Barometric pressure does that to me as well.

Barometric pressure does that to me as well.

Yes, me too. My blood pressure is usually fairly low, but I think it bothers people with h8gher blood pressure even more.

Barometric pressure does that to me as well.

Me as well, along with joint pain.

 

[medtran49]

Yeah, my joints hurt much worse too when a strong front comes through.

 

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

Yes, me too. My blood pressure is usually fairly low, but I think it bothers people with h8gher blood pressure even more.

It also rather weirdly affects the water level in our toilet quite dramatically. You can tell when a high pressure is coming over because the water level in the toilet drops dramatically. We have seen it almost empty the bowl of water.

The wind died down during the early hours this morning and we now have 2 very frosty vehicles.

But I won't bother moving my vehicle because the next front has already affected the coast and Victoria (the state) and is on its way here before the day is out. It's the 2nd of 3 to hit us this week and yesterday's has already resulted in fatalities.

Rain started about 4.30pm, and it's still raining a bit.
Good for the plants but not so good for the gardener who will have to cut the grass again after only 10 days.

Rain started here about 5am and hammered down for quite a while, thankfully it stopped before I walked to work. Didn't want to pit a coat on because it is really hot and humid.

 

[badjak]

Even we had rain a couple days ago...
Very uncommon. Our rains start mid to late November

 

[Herbaceous]

Feels like fall here today. I was walking to the train in a short-sleeved shirt and regretted not wearing long sleeves!

 

[Lullabelle]

This morning I had to put my coat back on
Very windy, drizzling with rain but still warm.

I have a new project I’m managing at work, that involves a re-use store, where things are free (like a free thrift store).

I went to IKEA yesterday to get some racks for the clothing, and today I’m schlepping them to work in the train - certainly an interesting task!

 

[Lullabelle]

Gorgeous sunny day

 

[medtran49]

I mean this in the nicest way possible, but I HATE all of you northerners with temperatures in the high 60s, when we had a feels like high of 108 F today!

 

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

We let the fire go out yesterday because it reached 20°C outside. This morning isn't too bad. We slept with the windows open because it was still 16°C when we went to bed (16°C = 61F), but tomorrow morning is back down at 3°C, so I think we might be lighting the fire again.
