Hate it.

Stinking hot weather. Aggressive hot and bothered people. Bushfires, cyclones, irukandji jellyfish, sharks, hot water out of the tap, dead garden, snakes, spiders, sweating stinking people, make up that runs down your face, mosquitoes, whirring fricking fans all night, blasting air conditioners that blow your newspaper across the room, soft chocolate, milk that's off before it's use by date, dustbowl lawns, burning hot steering wheels, going to bed hot and annoyed, waking up and it's still hot before you even get out of bed, people who say "ooh, Australia's always sunny and the beaches are beautiful."

I hate it.

It's the same every year.

PS all that bothers me too, apart from the make up bit obviously, and those weird jellyfish you mention.

I thought Brissy got summer rain. Here in Melbourne the grass yellows off anytime between Christmas and Feb if we have a hot spell. I've returned from Overseas and it was quite a sight - but it only has to rain to change it back.



[It will save you bandwidth mate..
