    What's your weather like 2026

    Not seen the sun today although it has tried to break the dust haze a time or two without success. It is 16.6c but we have a nasty breeze gusting to 56 kph. Still waiting for the dirty rain.

    I'm not a fan either. Along with pigeons, seagulls and squirrels, I regard them as a nuisance. However, having watched them at close quarters, I do have a new respect for their industriousness...
