Please note: I have great regret in my failure to allow my complete health to dictate my continued health in this situation.  Unfortunately I will not be able to write a full report for Geelong Weather Services from 1997 up until 2023; the full report for Geelong’s weather will not be likely in the near future.  Please allow me to permit a report when possible on a later date.  My 81st birthday occurs in August 2024 so please phone me where it is possible.  Best wishes to all of you. Regards, Lindsay.
