a heated afternoon and a brewing storm...

Currently 36 degrees in this Temora, NSW Saturday afternoon...
Usually, I love being able to see out into my garden...from my lounge room chair... But not today...
The fan blades are whirring and the shutters are closed... pic.twitter.com/SBzcy8Fx5l

I went out early to have some solitude this Remembrance Day.
The Pool of Reflection and the ANZAC War Memorial are always special, and on 11/11, I ponder the futility of war and can’t see we will ever be at peace. pic.twitter.com/XvAhA1BQvS
