It would be fair to say that things have been all a mo go since the last update, and somehow here we are, all smooth skinned and resplendent with Christmas just around the corner. Again, eating Gelatissimo alongside the Christmas decorations in the mall and writing Christmas cards in shorts is still all wrong, but I’m not complaining about the fantastic weather. Just hoping it stays that way come December 18th when work is done and the shorts are permanent.
The sun was out and about in Sydney last week, where I had a couple of days for the love of
work, but outside of that thankfully had some morning time to jaunt around the Botanic Gardens and, blissfully touristy, take some time over a flat white perched beside the water at Circular Quay.
Canberra meanwhile has been on its best comfort blanket behaviour, all evening walks and coffee stops and BBQ moments. The hottest November on record hardly conducive to extra facial hair, but compensation aplenty in the extra shorts-wearing capacity it brings
And just in case this hot weather leading up to Christmas seemed too topsy-turvy, a little reminder of Britain was just round the corner, a sign indicating a ‘Terribly British Day’ just around another corner. It ended up being neither British or particularly terrible, just an array of classic cars, of which a larger than average proportion were British. All that there was to do was try out for best Top Gear presenter impression.
And so, just a few more weeks and we will be ready for some prawns on the barbie and a dip in the sea, the quintessential Aussie Christmas. I’m really quite looking forward to it.
