Re: Here I come, whinging again........
On arrival in Melbourne, I SMSed Polly to ask if she was cold. She said the weather was perfect...I happened to agree with her.
it was
Mon and Tue 35ish - (ish = disclaimer)
Wed and Thu 25ish , blue skies - the days Polly saw.
Now that is good weather!!!!
Now we have 20 and cloudy.

Maybe as a respite to your Humidity, but i'll be freezing! In my book 25-28C is lovely, under 20C and your talking a naff British summers day!. (Perth Winter
) as long as it doesnt rain I guess.
Enjoy the F1.

Re: Here I come, whinging again........
Good to hear that the Interstate visitors are enjoying their visit, to this great city. Make sure whilst you are here that you visit as many restaurants as you can. My favourite eating area, is Brunswick St, Fitzroy. Possibly the best eating strip In Aussie, with Lots of places to eat, with many different types of cuisine on offer, in a Fantastic bohemian type atmosphere. All dirt cheap as well.
Back to the weather, Melbourne suits me, I just put a Windcheater type top on and started to sweat immediatly, bit of a diliema the clothing this evening.
One other throw away point, in the 20 years I've been here, I've only ever seen snow fall once in Inner Melbourne, that was for about 1/2 an hour, and it settled for about 2 hours.
Enjoy the grandprix, and hope It's not too expensive to go.

I've always loved Melbourne, been here three or four times now - this is the first time the weather has been so important,; I can feel myself coming back to life and getting my energy back!
We are eating in a high class restaurant tonight...."Chez Badge" and I'm told the serve good beer there as well. Think we should've booked for two weeks, not one!

Well, heres a positive statement for you all........I love Australia! (well, this week, anyway)
We got off the plane in Melbourne yesterday and the weather was - and still is - fabulous! Its warm, but not Brisbane-type warm. The Bloke is finding it a little chilly, I'm just finding it British! Nice chilly morning, lovely slow sunrise, slow sunset tonight - it was still light at 8.30 (just) - and when put together with the beautiful scenery in this bit of Victoria.......well, I always knew I was lucky to be here, guess I just needed reminding.
Good company, good beer, good scenery, feeling really content. Long may it last. And thanks to Hevs and HUP and the children, for their hospitality and friendliness, which has cheered me up immensely
(and not a power cut in sight still......arghhhhh, some woman has just turned the lights out to wind me up!!!!)
