This entry was born out of necessity. 1stens I want to thank all the concern about our safety. We have not washed away. Not yet. Melbourne, magic lantern just like the rest of the country has incredible rains in recent weeks, but whether it is normal I am not saying. Last year this time we struggled through the 5th heat wave of the summer and temperatures in the mid 40's trying to survive. And they all said it was abnormal. Today we wonder where is the terrible hot summers which the Aussies there so brag? Melbourne's not seasons magic lantern as the rest of the world. One day, the temp from 38gr to 16gr fall, the wind will blow gale suddenly stopped, then dropped the rain furiously magic lantern for 30 minutes. Suddenly the sun and the earth dry within minutes so that the land as a wilderness look and if you look up you just imagine you see a snowflake magic lantern :) Ok, sorry, now realities. Yes, just as South Africa is currently magic lantern experiencing Oz also rain epidermal porporsies. They just finished someone had to blame also. Her name is La Nina, and she is here to stay for at least 3 months. Unlike its cousin El Nino refusing to send us rain and droughts, tears now on end again. Those who know say it's due to cold weather conditions over the Pasific Sea that she threw her toys out of the cot. That's according to the learned scientists, NASA. I read a bit about La Nina, but myself just woke up. Google but for finer detail, she eitnlik very boring, but its aftermath is something there for many years will be discussed.

The whole of South Africa is 1,221,037 square kilometers. So will save SA in Queensland match with another little country. 1/3 of Queensland under water. Take a map of South Africa and color a third and so little of it. That's the extent of La Nina's damage and although they say she is coming to Melbourne, we believe that we are not so much going to be hit.
