Well I have woken up to the most magnificent view this morning. Just after 6am the sky was a beautiful crimson colour. The magnificent shade bounced of the underside of the clouds that filled the warm morning sky. Normally I would love what I was seeing, but an old saying quickly springs to mind in this instant.

Red sky at night – Sailors delight

Red sky at Morn -  Sailors Warn!

So I can confidently say that we are in for a rather horrible day weather wise! Already the temperature did not manage to drop down to the lowest level it was supposed too, so instead of waking to a crisp and refreshing 2 degrees, it is now currently 11 degrees and only 7am!

We have a rather busy day ahead of us too, which means that when the rain finally comes ( and it will) we will be out and about enjoying ourselves with friends. We have a birthday party to go too, which we will not be missing just beacuse the weather looks daunting, however we will be cautious as we travel around on the hilly roads.

This afternoon we have to go and complete our Tax returns. As usual I have managed to do 99% of what is required and can now just give the tax agent the accumulative figures for them to put them into the right boxes and send away. We hopefully will walk away with a small amount of money to add to our savings, which would be great.

I must add that while I was working out the amount I have spent on educational texts etc for JAHG to be home schooled (in order to claim the educational allowance), I was pleasantly surprised to see that after everything I had purchased the amount was a small few hundred dollars, so I shall now be adding our internet costs to the amount to make sure we get the full rebate.
