There is never a dull moment here!<\/span><\/h3>\n
Last week was spent ducking and diving from:<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n
 * Flu <\/b><\/span>* Glandular Fever (mono) * <\/b>Ebola…<\/b><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
 Here<\/a> is the post for those who missed all the excitement…<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
We are now over the flu, recovering from Glandular Fever<\/span><\/div>\n
and a flight out of West Africa has been booked!<\/span><\/div>\n
Phew! I’m looking forward to this week ahead,<\/span><\/div>\n
I hear it is going to be just perfect!<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Shop board in Mansfield<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
But before we head off to find the perfection<\/span><\/div>\n
I have to de-ice the windscreen.<\/span><\/div>\n
Now that’s not something I get to do very often,<\/span><\/div>\n
even in the middle of a Melbourne winter.<\/span><\/div>\n
Here is the original of the black and white photo <\/span><\/div>\n
I posted yesterday for Silent Sunday<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Ice on the windscreen in Melbourne, that’s unusual!<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
Yesterday I drove my friend and her now flu-free <\/span>daughter <\/span><\/div>\n
 back to her boarding school, <\/span><\/div>\n
three hours drive out of Melbourne.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
After a terrible full-on winter week<\/span><\/div>\n
which included torrential rain, winds and hail in Melbourne<\/span><\/div>\n
we were happy to see blue skies and only a smidgen of mist around.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Mist in the valley outside Yea!<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
As we got closer to Mount Buller<\/span><\/div>\n
our closest ski resort to Melbourne<\/span><\/div>\n
we could see the snow on the top of the mountains.<\/span><\/div>\n
They say it is the best ski season there for thirty-three years.<\/span><\/div>\n
My photo wasn’t the best, so I added some artwork.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Sun capped Mt Buller, Victoria  Sunday 3rd August 2014<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
Mansfield the nearest town was buzzing with anticipation<\/span><\/div>\n
of an epic day on the slopes!<\/span><\/div>\n
Such a shame we were not here to ski also!<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Wishing all my friends in the blogosphere a week of perfection.<\/span><\/div>\n
Thank you for all the lovely comments and e-mails last week.<\/span><\/div>\n
Much appreciated!<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
Linking with Blue Monday<\/a> – thank you Sally!<\/span><\/div>\n
