Default Getting cooler <g>

Today saw the coldest April day ever in Australia - minus 13'.

Had to go down to Canberra this morning and you can see the first snows on the hills to the South of the city.

Winter's not far away!

Yeah, but not as much as the "I can't believe how much it can rain in a single day" ones we get from Darwin in the other 6 months...

They are almost as good as the ' why can't I water my lawn, wash my car, why should we have to drink desalinated water, my house has no insulation, where can I buy a decent heater from ' ....etc .
Its actually been a below average wet season this year in Darwin. Been very little ran March/April. Noticeably a large drop in humidity the last week as well. Makes working outside and not being able to smell your own sweat after 5 mins wonderful.

We rarely get any thread about Darwin, let alone a moaning one about rain

My eldest has just got back from watching the boyfriend playing footie, she's in fleecy pj bottoms, t shirt, cardigan and boyfriends fleece huddled in bed under the duvet and is still frozen

Was it Errol Flynn who once said ' give me warm and moist every time before cold and dry' ? Or did I here that on some dodgy internet movie site recently?.

It's gone darn cold down here south of the border. What was that line from Only Fools and Horses - something like "I just seen a couple of brass monkeys outside crying their eyes out."
