   Hi! Holger,   
      
   On 08 Jun 16 09:49, you wrote to me:   
      
    PQ>> It's more likely to be Benalla still, mate.  I checked again with   
    PQ>> uncle Google: the event is called the 'Austin 7 Club Historic   
    PQ>> Winton', and this year was the 40th anniversary meet.   
      
    HG> We have a "Highlights" from Winton coming up on friday, and I'll try   
    HG> to catch that name again, if I'm at home. Just for because of   
    HG> curiosity ;o)   
      
   Enjoy!  :)   
      
    HG> That was also the reason, why I was a bit worried for your well being,   
    HG> knowing (or thinking), that the area where you live, may be quite near   
    HG> to sea level.   
      
   This end of town has been through many floods over the years.  The house is an   
   early settler's cottage, with a lot of upgrades.  It's over 100-something   
   years old, and is on concrete stumps.  I'm about 1.8m and in most places under   
   the house I have to duck my head, lest I prang the woodwork... which I have   
   done a lot of times, in times' past, as I'm sure I've got a flatter forehead.   
      
    PQ>> to an equinox, Holger.  Maybe we'll share similar temperature   
    PQ>> ranges as well as length of days, for a short space of time.  :)   
      
    HG> Yes probably, when the REAL summer starts. What we have had so far,   
    HG> has been some sort of appetizing pre-summer.   
      
   Well, it's just not letting go here.  The temp was 19.1C at 9h30 this morning.   
   We're expecting a max of 25+C later.  We had a max of 30C just the other day.   
   Gorgeous weather besides.  It's actually a pleasure to enjoy a few moments in   
   the sunshine (which is still dangerous for us in winter).   
      
   Cheers,   
   Paul.
