Police, sirens, big crash!

[blamebrampton]

After an exciting morning spent sorting out all of our e-waste for recycling* and delivering it to the depot, I decided to have a quick nap. Which was interrupted by a siren. Not unusual, this is the inner city, after all. Then another siren. Then quite a few. Then an almighty crash.[Poll #1453860][Poll #1453860]

I am missing winter! Last year was the winteriest I had been in years with a quick freeze in Christchurch (-5) and a coolish autumn in Firenze (10). Sydney's idea of winter has lows of 8, for three days. I want to wear my thick coat!

But yes, Paris and Firenze offer much in the way of shopping and gallery-going, which is really the main exercise. If I can convince Mr Brammers that he likes Europe, we will follow up with a nice long spring trip in the next year or two.

"Sydney's idea of winter has lows of 8, for three days."

I like Sydney's idea of winter. It sounds a lot like England's idea of summer, but with a promise of better, rather than a threat of worse. :oP

Heh. When I first came out here it was spring and I thought it was the most delightful weather ever (17-23 every day, sun, a light shower, then more sun). Then summer hit, and I thought that I might die. The winters are generally quite nice, but January and February are to be avoided where possible, nobody needs 40-45 degrees!

45 degrees is Not Okay.

But actual sunshine is good. I had almost forgotten how much I liked it. *is a drama queen*

You can have some of mine! I miss my ozone layer!
