Wednesday 1^st January 2025

SHE SAID:

Welcome to 2025.

We managed to see in the WA New Year, getting back to the house from “Zest” around 10.30pm, then watching RAGE with all '80s music till midnight! Not quite partying on till dawn!

Today was hot & quiet, and we got to the forecast high of 38C around 2.30pm. It was great weather for drying the washing & hibernating inside.

I was persuaded to go out around 9pm when my friend Nikki messaged to say the Aurora Australis was ‘going off’! OMG, it was too! Bright red; amazing! And again around 11pm; there were visible beams of light. So cool!

An amazing light show that the photos don't do justice to!

HE SAID:

It was a fairly quiet day. No hangover, but it was hot, so we didn't do much more than our chores (including setting up hoses to constantly cool down the chook sheds), and I managed to finish my read-through and edit of our blog book. We'll do a joint final effort tomorrow, hopefully, and send it off. It is a bit later than previously; we must have been busy!

The aurora was faintly visible to the naked eye. And a couple of the rays of light were too. Cool. Maybe one day I'll see the other colours.
