After almost a week of foggy, crisp mornings and brilliant sunny days we know in Melbourne that winter has arrived. Aeroplane flights were delayed several mornings this week but we are extremely lucky to be living in an area where such great weather is normal in winter.
The wood stove (with triple burn technology) has been used to great effect this week and there is nothing like sitting in front of a warm fire and reading a good book.
This weekend I'm starting "A Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian" by Marina Lewycka as part of the book club I belong to. Its only a short book so I'll expect to complete it by the end of the long weekend.
What are you doing these wintry nights?
While watching ABC TV last week I was intrigued by the story on power generation in Woking, UK. It just shows you that one person can make a difference. The change from one polluting technology (greenhouse gases) to a far less polluting technology is possible when someone is committed and passionate about the problem. For those interested here is the website http://www.abc.net.au/catalyst/stories/2244790.htm.
And it seemed to use previously known technology and cost less.
