I've heard from my family!

Yippee! I faxed them, and emailed and sent a postcard, and got a fax and email reply today (both were the same, long story, but that deosn't matter!) How exciting! The weather sounds a bit extreme (well, compared to Tassie weather!), I'll give it to you in German, but you should be able to understand, not rocket science!

Jänner, Februar, März = Schnee (snow), Regen (rain), Nebel (fog/mist), Sonnenschein (sunny) – Temperatur -10°C bis +20°C
April, Mai, Juni, Juli = Sonnenschein, Regen, Nebel – Temperatur -4°C bis +32°C

On second thoughts, I'll add translation! That';s a big range of temperatures though! Sounds cold!!

Anyway, I need some lunch, and Mum needs the computer, so must be off!
