+1. ;)

And here in Boston it's raining hard all day today. And it's Bill's fault (the tropical depression, not the Chairman).

Cheers,

Tom, Nobody like a braggart! ;).

Here in Canada we still have enough summer weather left that we really don't mind if someone else has a bit too.

Nice sunset BTW. Or is it a sunrise? As you're in the southern hemisphere, is it backwards like the water in the drain?

Noosa is close to Fraser Island, I did a day trip there and if you want to see a photogenic island it is the place to go. Google image search results (https://www.google.com.au/search?q=fraser+island&espv=2&biw=911&bih=387&site=webhp&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=6DSHVdOmAoGnmAXdjYPgCw&sqi=2&ved=0CAYQ_AUoAQ) will give you an idea.

It is 9°C in Sydney at the moment and it is predicted to get up to 18°C so it could be worse. It is 8AM here and I'm in bed waiting for it to warm up so that I can cook some Spanish eggs. Ah the life of retired… Enjoy your NH weather.

Cheers,

Those are almost exactly the words that came to my mind.
