I didn't realise that where you are it is still classified as 'the hills' . Do you get the cold wind there?

Re: First day of Spring
It was 'only' 24 c today and it is forecast 25c for tomorrow- it is a hard life. 
Mind you I am so aclimatised that it does not even feel that warm to me yet.

I've been looking in and seeing whats going on :scared: .
Moved house 3 times, getting rid of cr@p, sorting out paperwork for moving etc etc..
Things have calmed down now.
Just looking forward to leaving work and having a month catching up with mates before leaving.

I have only visited WA once for a holiday and we hired bikes and cycled around Kings park, I loved the view to the River and city.
