Oh dear, Canada!

I arrived home to Mr Brammers asking me: "Have you heard about Canada?"

"Aren't they having an awful cold snap?"

His eyes widened with that boyish glee of having A Fact to impart. "It was warmer on Mars today than in Canada!" he announced.

Darling Canadians, I hope that you are all keeping well. Preferably in Florida!

Or in Australia … We have just finished our hottest year on record and in Central and Northern Australia we've so far spent 2014 breaking the records that were set in 2013. Happily, it's not so bad in Sydney. You can see why I'm such a ranting loudmouth against anti-climate change ideologues, though.

One of my Canadian friends mentioned the other day how cold it was getting, but I didn't actually realise HOW bad. Poor things.

Meanwhile, I'm in blissful delight in my little seaside town on the southern coast with simply wonderful summer weather. Although we will get 30C on Tuesday, apparently. Yikes.

No, I am not constantly checking Perth weather to see what we left behind and gloat accordingly. How dare you suggest such a thing?!
