In Antartica there are penguins. They have a weather machine. They seek our doom.

That is the only explanation for the sudden, and totally sucky, blast of winter weather. Cold howling southerly winds. Rain. For days on end. And it is of course school holidays, so parents around the country are stuck indoors with kids suffering cabin fever.

Thankfully we don’t have any cria on the ground yet, and our neighbors are pretty much done lambing, so should take few losses. The farmers on the Central Plateau are just starting lambing, and they will suffer horrific losses.

Bleah. I will be glad when the penguins turn off their infernal machine, and let us get back to spring.
