November has turned Spring into Summer here in Sydney. Last week I wondered when the cooler weather was eventually going to leave us and before I knew it the humidity of summer hit with a vengence. In the garden the flowers are still in bloom but beginning to look tired; their leaves are a flourishing gleen but appear wilted in the heat of the day. Yesterday here in Sydney the temperature reached a high of 30 degrees and brought with it some very high humidity indeed. Today will be the same again. It is damp and hot already, a wind blows that is warm, foretelling of a change to come later this evening. Flox and pansies are in bloom, along with dainty baby's breath. The garden is full of new life from the recent rains, making it look a heathy green, yet this extreme heat is taking it's toll on them. Right now, Miss K and I are thinking about takinga dip in the pool to cool off. 
Yesterday I left Jervis Bay at 4:30am and decided to take the Grand Pacific Drive via Kiama to come home. One can often catch some magnivicent sunrises out over the Pacific Ocean whilst driving along here. On approach to Bolang, which is just past Bomaderry' an old country rail track crosses the road and continues throuh a group of factories. The train was moving slowly across the roadway and appeared to be moving slow enough through the factories so as the staff could fill the huge freight wagons and trucks with their cargo. I am still not sure exactly what that way. A number of carriages passed when the train came to a hult and a shunter which is a man who breaks apart and joins the carriages, stood and unhooked two of the wagons. The train continued to move and a break appreared for the traffic to drive through. It was not until I began to cross that I looked along to the remainder of the train yet to cross the road, and realized that there were several dozen carriages yet to be filled. Indeed, this train must be a kilometer long or possibly more. It was fascinating to watch.
I hope that everyone stays cool today and has a relaxing Sunday.
