Let's Talk About The Weather...

It's been a weird week for weather here in Melbourne. The mercury has been, well, mercurial. Tuesday saw Steff and I sweltering by the pool with half of the Melbourne Storm rugby league team and then, while the temperatures stayed up, the rain came down.

Ondine and I sheltered on the lawn inside Madame Brussels, drinking Pimms and eating toasted ham and cheese sandwiches. It was all very British. It is a great idea and the location (up three flights of stairs inside a dowdy building at the top of Bourke Street) only adds to the atmosphere.



Unfortunately, seeing as we were the only ones there and the bar staff in their tennis kits weren't enough to keep out attention, we ended up picking faults with the decor. I'll definitely be heading back there to see how it works in the evenings.

The weather held out while I caught up with Em at World Wide Wash. Great venue, great company.

So you can see that I have been biding my time waiting for this work to come in. I am getting more and more frustrated as the days go by but it gives me a good excuse to catch up with friends.

Word.

It was so cold last night...

Okay, it may be winter but this is ridiculous! At least it could stay above 0.

Not that it makes much difference here; the heating is well integrated into the house and is always on. Unless you go outside you don't really know it is winter.

The wierdest thing is that it can warm inside and bright and sunny outside and yet, looking out the window, people are walking around in coats, scarves and gloves.

Anyways, click on the pic to see how lovely the BBC says it is here in chilly Acton at the moment.

Another piña colada please (and someone thaw out my pussy!).
