Yes Winter is in full swing here. It has been constantly drizzling and it is very damp. Today the temperature plummetted and although I have floor heating, I had to reach for another jumper.
I am feeling much better now and determined to press forward. Almost half the year has gone and wonder what will happen over the next six months. In January I was thinking about an eventual move to Queensland but this has now fallen by the wayside. I think I am happiest here despite its shortcomings.
The only worry I have are those increasing hidden financial costs. Electricity has risen sharply for me. I was paying approximately $50 per fortnight but this has now increased to $65. On top of this, we are likely to be slugged for water and sewerage costs, now that these have been separated from local government rates. Wonder in the next few days what other hidden charges will be revealed in the State Budget. Already one unauthorised leak briefly surfaced in the media but was quickly denied by the Treasurer. We shall see on Thursday.
