Thanks, Max, I like seeing these different tales of the seasons from the
other (equally on top) Hemisphere.
Here it's been the harvest getting in: for a townee like me that meant
watching the combines from a train window last weekend or otherwise
the final chapter of summer -going round the Botanical Gardens for the last
of the rarer summer flowerings (already the big flowerbeds in the municipal
parks are brown)
