Winter has arrived

With sadness, I must report that cooler weather has arrived.  I believe that this is what they call winter here.

Daily lows vary between 10 and 15 C, while daily highs vary between 16 and 21 C.  Cooler and warmer days will happen, but the temperature is now staying predominantly in the above listed range.  That means no more t-shirts or flip-flops.  Oh well, it's been the BEST summer of my life, so I can't complain.  :-)

It does not get too cold in the evening due to higher humidity here in Sydney.  The only time that it feels cold is early in the morning.  The rest of the day is tolerable, if you can call above 15 C tolerable.  I know places in the world where 15 C is 'a warm day.'  Wink, wink.

I did not have to read past 'with sadness' to know that your post was being written tongue in cheek!

For the last two or three years, a colleague and I have 'competed' to see who would be the one to put away her open-toed shoes (without stockings)-- when Summer turned to Fall. I lost out the last time; it was early November and the temperature was 1 C.

Why am I telling you this? Well, it is to say that you wimpy Australians need to bump up your resilience! You put the flip flops away at a mere 10 degrees??? C'mon! You should be enjoying such balmy temperatures -- with your toes in full view!
