    Bloody Cold

    Mercury hit zero celsius today folks.

    It's been quite a struggle to keep my hands warm since I woke up early morning.

    I'm talking about Melbourne, of course, the greatest metropolis in the known world.

    No kidding!!! 500km from Brisbane, but you get pretty cold there. It's the elevation I reckon.

    You would think all the hot air from the pollies would keep the ACT warmer than that.

    There has been a heavy frost here, so I expect a lot of the seedlings I have planted this week will be lost.
    My advice is: not to follow my advice.

    Nah, it's more like their farts causing local greenhouse effect and raising Canberra temperature a little bit, and that's how Canberra managed to be -0.5 celsius.

    What seedlings did you plant? Last thing I would wanna do is to plant seedlings in July.

    I planted Flowering Gums, Banksia Marginata, Wooly Tea Tree and some different types of hakea. I also put in a heap of Red Malalueca which I scored for gratis as they were last years stock. All of them are supposed to be frost hardy, so they should be ok.

    The ground is still very dry and I have been told that some cockies up north are real worried about that.
