All rugged up, nice and warm this X’mas season…hang on…

This must be the coldest and wettest summer Melbourne is experiencing in a long while. I know it isn’t anything like a white Christmas, but it must be the nearest thing to a northern hemisphere-like festive period.

I’ve spent my last five nights in a jumper, trackies and socks with the heater turned on. My last three summers were best remembered for bathing in sunlight, walking around naked at home, having quick cold showers every so often and sitting in front of the fan.

How has the wet and cold weather affected your Christmas preparations? Moving the barbie indoors? Last minute shopping plans curtailed due to rain?

As for my partner and I, this Christmas will be remembered for scooping excess rain water out of our fish pond, mopping up a flooded bathroom (twice it has happened!) and running out to the backyard to collect our laundry.

    We went to The Boulevard to see the Xmas lights tonight. It was freezing yet lots of people were there anyway. It was a nice and COOL night out.

    You’re just taunting me aren’t you? It’s like 0 degrees in Chicago tonight.

    Are u referring to 0 degrees fahrenheit (the ones only Americans understand) or 0 degrees centigrade (the intelligent people’s choice of measurement)? Or are they the same thing?

    Either way, it’s cold by normal summer standards. I’m in 3 layers now. That’s absurd. 14 degrees summer!
