Sunday afternoon in Aust

Hello everyone - it is now Sunday afternoon here on a lovely summers day but
expecting a storm this afternoon.

Had our morning coffee with our disabled friend as usual and now about to
get lunch.

If you ever wonder why the very best world class wool is expensive ie
Spinelli type garments- then here is the answer - one bale of the highest
quality sold yesterday to a Chinese firm for $750,000.00 ( Aust dollars that
is ) which is about $570,000.00 US dollars or 292,500 English pounds. This
was produced in our own state of Queensland - usually the really top class
wool comes form Tasmania. God Bless Gwen

Hello Gwen, on Sunday, and here it is still Saturday. I think it is great
news that good quality wool can still demand that kind of price....way to
go for the sheep

Hi Everyone,

Well, it's not sunny here in upstate NY. I came on the computer about 15
minutes ago and there was a light rain. I looked out about five minutes ago and
it's snowing and everything is white and it's really coming down, going to have
about two to three inches before morning and be bitter cold tomorrow. Looks
like a lot of crocheting will be done.

Hugs,

Nora

Brrr. It's raining changing to snow here, too. I hope the roads
are clear tomorrow. We have to go out.

Hi Nora

I sure know what you mean about the bitter cold because we are
currently getting it and it's going to last until Tuesday morning. I
am like you are getting lots of crocheting done.

We don't have snow yet but we do have the very cold weather. -22C
and -35C with the windchill right now at 10:45 pm Sunday evening.
Tomorrow is suppose to warm up to -13.

Take care

Gwen,

Whenever I see your subject line "Sunday afternoon in Aust," I read it
as "Sunday afternoon in August." With the snow and cold temperatures that
we are having, I wish it were August. LOL

Yes,Dora, these are the same and with wool as fine as 11.9 microns it is
the
finest ever produced and as the article says usually used in cashmere
sweaters etc and no doubt will be processed to be fully machine washable
as
most- if not all- of our wool is these days. God Bless Gwen
