A rejig of dates and our sojourn in the foothills is temporarily on hold.

Shot into Mt Hutt Village, pizza became most asked for menu item, around 1700 hrs Friday and could see snow on the slopes, car temperature outside at 5 degrees, frost yesterday morning so upsticks and headed back down country.

Traditionally High Country Stations scheduled the autumn muster to bring stock to lower country following Anzac Day, this was 5 weeks earlier. Oh I know it is but a skiff but as a portent, perhaps sobering.

I also understand the difference between Climate and Weather unlike the climate disaster purveyors who daily seek out a weather disaster somewhere around the globe that in earlier times would never be noticed unless it was a slow news day and then an event from likely perhaps weeks ago will become part of a news bulletin. Of course today whatever the disaster it is directly attributable to Climate Change, in’it.
