From one Extreme to another

Australia Day started out as a warm day and the temperature climbed as the day progressed.  We do not usually have temperatures this high were we live along the coast.  

The only way to start the day was with a swim 


Then it was time to join in with the Chookshed stitchers for a Zoom session


During our talk Janet who lives in the US took us all for a "walk" in the snow.   It was actually snowing while this was taken.  


Hubs and I had planned an Australia Day picinic on our patio but seeing that it was so hot we decided to have it inside in the cool of the airconditioning.   


While Zooming along with the others I finished off a beanie and started another.    This a different pattern to the one that I usually make.   Being smaller it knits up very quickly and does not have a pom pom.  


Back soon and in the meantime

Happy sewing all

that is hot - een Brisbane wasn't that hot!! Definitely, a picnic inside was appropriate!
Lovely of you to make those beanies.

Waaay too hot! Not surprised you hid indoors. Sorry I missed you on zoom but I only dropped in near the end - 8am for me though. xx

We enjoyed a nice 30deg day today.
Good idea to have an indoor picnic.
Sorry I missed you on Zoom.

I missed you yesterday, and missed Janet's walk as well. I was either on before or after you two. It was a lovely visit though.

Lovely way to spend the day... I am not enjoying this hot spell - not cooling at night either...

It was rather crazy, with some girls at 40C and others at 40F. What a diverse group we are. Your picnic looks like it was rather lovely, albeit indoors.
