Today I played cricket in Blackheath, a little town about 5 minutes up the road from Katoomba. When Dad and I arrived at the ground at about noon the sun was out but it was very windy so we had jumpers on while we waited for the rest of the team to arrive. The game started at about 1 o'clock and after about half an hour it started to rain a little but it was only light even if the wind was making it horizontal. This sprinkling went on and off for about 45 minutes then got a bit heavier so we retreated to the cars while we waited for the bad weather to blow over. But it didn't. After a few minutes small bits of hail started falling then on to full blown snow. This is Australia!!! It isn't supposed to snow in summer!! Anyway the weather did blow over soon so we all went back on to the pitch and played for another 20 mins and during this time the sun re-emmerged and people were taking the jumpers off because they were to warm. Then the bad weather returned. Then went away again. And came back. And went away. The opposition team ended up on 100 runs and we were sent into bat. In the end my team won in with only about 3 balls left to be bowled. I didn't get to bat although I did open the bowling and got 2 wickets for 7 runs off 5 overs.
A wild day.

You might be glad to hear that we are having mixed weather in Cyprus too, although it is Winter. We have sun, rain, sun, rain etc., but not snow! Must have been exciting for you to see it though.
Love
