And it's finally raining! And we just had a hailstorm - it's fantastic! It's so dark inside that I've got the lights on (it's late morning) and it's only 11 degrees C. The cats are a little bit surprised by all this and are following me around the house, waiting for me to sit down so they can sit on me and extract my warmth

(Silly trivia: our seasons change on the first day of each quarter, not the equinoxes, because a government once thought Australians were too stupid to understand the equinoxes )
