Many Americans who live in America are talking all about signs of spring. Oh lah-dee-dah-dee-dah. So while they are all skipping around in their skirts and pigtails while the sun smiles down on them, I want to tell you about the signs of winter in the Southern Hemisphere.
Today, it looked something like this:
Today, it looked something like this:
As I walked from the deli to pick up the newspaper to my office this morning, the rain was nearly horizontal. I had to hold my umbrella in front of me to prevent the rain from going right in my face. It was extremely unpleasant.
Other signs of winter include:
-the sun comes up later every morning
-it is cooling down. Today, it was a high of 20 degrees (68 degrees F). Guys, it was FREEZING. Don't you tell me any differently. I had to turn on the heater in the lunchroom this afternoon. It was 35 degrees in Perth today (95 F). Not fair.
These two factors combined, it is much harder to get out of bed in the morning. I'm sleeping more soundly, and it feels like the middle of the night when my alarm goes off. This is making me feel disoriented. I had to have two cups of black tea today (instead of my normal one cup).
If those factors weren't enough to convince you that winter is on its way, here is the only proof you will ever need:
FOOTY SEASON STARTS TOMORROW!!! Get ready for short shorts and a whole lot of man-on-man pileups.
GO CROWS! GO ST KILDA! DON'T GO COLLINGWOOD!
