Birds are looking
good at nine degrees Centigrade in Jells Park, Melbourne, Australia. So are the
Ws. This couple keep fit daily in ALL weather conditions including winter
with their puffy jackets, beanies to keep their ears from frost bite 🤣🤣 and gloves.
“Crikey! Winter has arrived in Australia 🥶🥶 and they are out by 9am.” WHY? I'll be warm and snug in bed.
The Ws at a cool 10 C in Scotchman's creek, a long trail that leads all the way into Melbourne city. It is not just a stroll in the park, they chalk up at least 6km daily.
Some days they get crazier clocking past 7km at 4 degrees C. OH WHY? God made winters for his people to stay in bed with a good book. NO? 
Today, they took a 5.9km walk up to the Dandenong Creek Trail. "Hmmm, it was only 6 degrees Centigrade today but felt like 4 C with a good sun shinning. Cold but no wind chill, enough to rug up but not freezing cold," she says!

The dogs 🐶 are out
including grey hounds in their winter jackets. 
A bird casting a gigantic shadow and pelicans and ducks.
The Dandenong Trail starts when the gum trees start dominating the landscape. My goodness, Ms. W sure was well rugged up and the sun cast long shadows.
So was Mr. W. Brr, with the past year locked down, folks are eager to get out of hibernating at home.

Melbourne is truly beautiful even in winter. Australia opens international borders only in 2022. What a long time to wait for a visit.
