Wednesday 13th May, Hobart

I didn't go out yesterday [Tuesday] decided to stay home firstly because I have decided to do an online course and the tutorial notes had just arrived. This meant sitting down with a cuppa while I read the 95 pages !
Also it was a lovely day once the early morning fog lifted and so I decided to divide my time between the tutuorial notes and the back garden. I sat out the back for ages in the sun, just t-shirt and jeans for clothing. I have a big job in the back yard which is going to take me ages to finish but it is fine. Sitting in the sun, coffee close by I am slowly pulling weeds and their roots. Sifting the soil and saving it in the wheelbarrow ready to move it out to the front garden job I often wonder if the task will ever be finished.
Today was a good one to visit the top of Mount Wellington

And so today Wednesday 13th May.
I woke to the sound of rain against the windows. It was windy and very dull, I certainly could not see Mt Wellington from my place. My do sitting days are over. I had to drive out to the airport to pick up my friends. I had sent them a text warning them about the weather but as I got closer to the airport the rain ceased. I had a couple of jobs to do around the airport and jumping in and out of the car began to quickly feel the chill in the air.
There were plenty of tourists on their flight. Many can be picked by their attire ..backpacks, walking boots beanies and a handful of travel brochures they have collected while waiting for their luggage to appear. The car hire parking bay was full, plenty of the vehicles being camper vans of varying sizes.
The 5.30 news has been on TV and one of the main comments was : snow in Tasmania.. I wonder how the tourists will get on this evening. I will take my camera out tomorrow and if there is snow on The Mountain I will get a shot of it
