bemy- yes for me it is a 'thread' about which my whole ethos and psyche about recovery is based. Weather, food, exercise, burns, booze, xmas, how people say 'hello' to me...It all helps me learn, grow and share. Weather is just one facet- but given mother nature at the moment with earthquakes in NZ, Indonesia, Japan and the weather that follows. Bushfires and weather. Went snorkelling yesterday- sunburn cream, hydrationb, recovery- burns- weather. Seemed like a good focal point. Don't get too busy. How's (in your collective mind's) the coffee capital of the Universe? I do hear you are in for more storms. We usually get WA's used weather. PJ
