Autumn weather here, but winter temperatures for us. 11 Dec C today, 4 last night. 1 deg C tonight forecast and 13 C tomorrow.

Cooked up a big pot of "Coronation" Empire-Commonwealth Vindaroo (Vindaloo kangaroo mince) with British mashed potatoes, and a serve of Aussie lamb chops a la Jalfrezy. Didn't get to the Aussie Chicken Maryland Sri Lankan Curry.

But a big potjenof wood coals cooked Venison goulash is absolutely needed soon for the cold weather.

Went to bed last night dreaming of waking up to a white snowy wonderland ... Perhaps tonight, but not snow but frost. Antarctic weather travelling North across the Southern Ocean.
