As any Melburnian who's been overseas knows, the Department of Resources, Energy and Tourism is doing a pretty good job. Everyone outside Australia seems to think that it's always sunny and warm, everywhere. And then you you have to explain that Melbourne is in the south of Australia which means that it's often cold and (in the past) raining. Actually, maybe we can just blame Neighbours.

Anyway, today I feel like that here. It's freezing, fortunately for me when I'm working I seem to loose all sensation in my body, but I've just stopped for lunch and I'm shaking it's so bloody cold. Of course I just checked the weather and apparently it's a low of 11 today, so maybe I really am used to the warmer climate.
