*&%$# it's cold



Why is it so bloody cold? In Melbourne right now it's 8 degrees. And if you answer that question by saying "well it is winter ACTUALLY" I will come through this computer and slap you about. I had work colleagues down from Sydney yesterday and we had to cross the road to go to the ever greasy truck stop cafe for lunch. I found myself apologising for the freezing climate and non stop rain. I shouldn't feel responsible for weather but it really has been a wet one and to make matters worse a night by the fire or more likely standing under the Fujitsu screaming "heat you useless piece of plastic, heat!", leaves us left with the god awful television choices of the moment being whatserface and whatsisname in red - select a) hair or b) speedos. I WANT MY TELEVISION BACK you painful boring trollops that think everyone buys into this electioneering crap that is so highly processed and manufactured it might as well come in a subway sandwich. Why don't we talk about the drought anymore...

  1. I wouldn't worry about not impressing Sydney siders, it's windy and brass monkeys everywhere here at the moment. TV is overrated. I prefer the net.

  2. Well, it has to do with the shift in the planet's polar axis caused by the elliptical wobble of earth's trajectory around the Sun. I can make you a model out of fishing line, coloured balls and a light bulb if you want.

    And it has been wet, damn wet, like a Melbourne winter of olde. At least that means that one day soon I might be able to wash the car without having to pay $20 for the privelage. Not that I will though, but I like to have a choice.

  3. Living with a meteorologist means that I'm never allowed to complain about the weather. I do feel sorry for our bunny though - he's fashioned himself a cocoon out of a weeks' worth of newspapers!

  4. DVD's honey. DVD's

    Australia is having the coldest winter since about 1998 I believe.

  5. Yep, this has been a good winter, nice and wet. It's been such a dry, numbing cold during the last few years - where the afternoons seemed more icy. Gotta love the drizzle.
