I doubt it's been as high as 93 here in Taos more than a day or two in the last few summers. I could use that now, though! Well, that would be “hot,” all right, but not too bad.

We've just given spring the flick (AKA the big swerve), and today (29 Oct) it's 34C* in Adelaide, whatever that is in Kelvin ;-) So, our spring has sprung, the nectarines are growing, the white peach is going v. slowly, and another hot summer is approaching. More drink chat, geez must be the season, but a gal pal just emailed saying "34C and I'm thirsty - drinks after work" so unsurprisingly, I said, "si". Michael * TRANSLATION = 93F Hola.

A great pleasure, in fact, thinking of you there almost in the middle of spring, whereas we are supposed to be having temps in the teens and heavy snow in 48 hours! And what a fine invitation. I will not forget. I told my wife yesterday, "I wamt to sell a lot of books and buy us a house in the country!" and she said, "YES!" So a trip Down Under is on order, too. It has to happen. Is my back not at this very moment resting on a ratty old wallaby pelt? :-) A pleasure to hear from you!

That cheap motel will probably be a spare bedroom, we have spirits (gin made with native juniper, boobialla, from Kangaroo Island), the cervezas are various, and we eat well using excellent local produce.

I think I would find it very soothing. Oh, I know. :-) That remark is mostly a reflection on the SIZE of the place, which is suitably insane. I think I would find it very soothing.
