The Weather

Last week I wrote this blog in my ever-present notebook, but never got around to posting it:

"I was walking through stiffing, oppressive heat at 9:30 this morning in long, black, synthetic, non-breathable pants. The glare from the sun made me squint even though I was wearing sunglasses. The dry heat sucked precious moisture from my body and my mind was fuzzy from the 30 minutes I'd spent outside. All I could think is that this is a hell of a country to try and live a European life style. We should all be wearing shorts."

This week Melbourne and the rest of Victoria is battling floods.

Hot, cold, rain, hot, cold, rain. I'll tell you, this is some crazy summer weather.
