I don't really understand facebook. Never found any people from my past, never understood the wall thing. Do you chat on there the same as here? I get irritated by the weird things people can do to you so I don't bother going there very often

In fact it is the least humid place I've ever lived. So less humid than London or New Zealand. It's more like Southern California in that aspect.

Buzzy

OK - so you don't sweat at 40c in melbourne

It really must be sooo fantastic over there - why do you always feel the need to harp on about how fantastic melbourne is compared to brisbane?
No offence meant but the record does seem to be broken.

It's only YOUR opinion and i don't see people praising brisbane at every opportunity - maybe they don't have to convince themselves (only joking, i know you are seriously in luurve with melbourne)

You aint kidding! People tell me last winter was the mildest in a while (I was in NT where the winter is glorious) but it's damn cold at the moment. Supposedly down to 7C overnight When I took the dog out at 630 this morning, I was fully wrapped up in a fleece and still shivering. Even now the sun has got up in the sky a bit, it's still fleece / jacket weather. Brrrrr.

It is handy for keeping tabs with all the real mates you have and sharing photos and experiences without having to email people.

You can lock it down to refuse strangers and not install apps if they bother you.

Noone said it wasn't hot or uncomfortable or you didn't sweat like you might with high humidity.

Mate a fireman is telling you that 40 degree days in Melbourne have low humidity. Next time I get the index on my pager I will let you know. Brisbane tends to have less extremes and higher humidity in summer - it is a fact.

Cee U Next Tuesday.

Next....

The OP was kind of suggesting it.

I was saying the other day brissie gets a proper summer/distinct winter spring etc but no real autumn, but it was today, so sunny, sky like crystal, very windy we spent ages picking up fallen pine cones and twigs, to light the wood burner tonight after stuffing a nice big leg of lamb and red wine. Great day, love this time of year.
