By next Christmas, you'll be a pro and shuddering at all the poor fools living in the UK.

Wish I was walking round the shops in shorts and flip flops! It's not that cold here about 13c. Rained earlier but the sun is now out, the leaves are orange and red and it's a typical autumn morning. The clocks went back an hour last night so it's going to be dark early tonight then it will start to feel like winter is setting in. Glad your there and enjoying Skye. See you and PP in February.
Oh and one last thing I am never, never, never and I repeat never going to call flip flops "thongs"! Thongs are knickers not shoes!!!! ;D

I've noticed a few australians have started calling their thongs flip-flops! But Christmas when it's 32 degrees is just not right, feels weird and I'll be glad when it's over.
