The citrus are still on the trees which are doing fine, they are only frost
tender under these conditions when young.

For those who have read me going on about medlar jelly here is why I say the
colour is pretty.

-4C is +24F, which is colder than anything I have seen in more than five
years.

Where are you?


South-Eastern Australia would be my guess given the onset of cold(ish)
weather a photo of an Eastern Rosella and the posting time offset on the
anonymous free German(?) news server. Of course the bird might have been in
a zoo or been a vacation snap and the time offset could be faked but I'm
guessing not. If the weather is really even a degree below freezing I'd be
betting on New South Wales or Victoria but, given the population
distribution in Oz, they would be the odds-on favorites anyway. Tasmania is
always a slight possibility. (Wonder if David knows Richard Raffan?) Inland
somewhere away from the tempering effect of the ocean seems reasonable.
Could it even be Canberra? Could be, but keeping chickens in Canberra seems
wrong somehow but, again, the picture could be misleading.

I'll go with New South Wales or Victoria. OK David, how did I do?
