I spoke to my bookkeeper this morning and the first bit of conversation was about the weather. She reported proudly that they had some 4 inches of rain at Park Ridge which is only 10km down the road from me.

Then we spoke of the long weekend weather and to drive carefully as she was heading off to Fraser Island.

(the reason for my call ended up at the end of the conversation. It was interesting to consciously observe the flow of the conversation)

I had a few things to do and was out and about, and as it was rubbish collection day today this image was begging to be recorded.
I got out of the car and the smell was rather unpleasant. It made me think about the connection between weather and the decay process and the interdependence of these.
Decay in hot humid climates compared to the dry and cold climates and the connection that the moisture and heat facilitates the growth/decay cycle.
And how cold slows or even halts the process. ie finding a 10,000 year old man frozen and perfectly preserved in the ice, yet fruit or food left out on a hot day spoils rapidly.

What are the implication of global temperature increases on this process?

Condensation on the inside of the window (Airconditioned room) formed when it started to rain and the exterior was cooling down.
