    Tomorrow’s going to be worse. But the upshot is that the sun is out!! It’s worth getting out of bed for. (Not so much when you’re indoors and the heating is busted… yikes)

      I’m kind of hoping that winter ends sooner. These temps feel more like July than June. Not having a proper autum this year really messed up my sense of reference.

        I do remember some frightfully cold June days before but certainly not a whole week of it and especially after such a warm autumn. I agree, I kind of feel like we’ve fast-forwarded a bit here… I don’t think I could do 3 months of this. Definitely going to try and escape over July/August if I can

          I do recall some pretty warm June days, high teens low 20s, not that long ago.

          We generally don’t really run the fireplace until mid-late June…been been running it for a few weeks now.

          This year has definitely been bizzare.

          You’re right though. If this keeps on till August, we might be looking at a week or so somewhere warmer

            IIRC we had few mild winters through the covid era so it’s a bit annoying to go back to this. I do remember my first couple winters in Melbourne 10-11 years ago being this cold around mid June though (not in terms of perception but recorded temps) - but then April and May were substantially cooler than this year.

            If money weren’t an option I’d be going off to some nice Pacific island to unwind but I will probably go hang out with my crazy family in Perth for a bit while I figure out what next in life. Not that warm but nowhere near as cold as here… might even do a road trip up to northern WA to see some fam up there.

        Pretty frosty week all up. At least it’s not entirely overcast because that would drive me insane. I might step out for a bit and soak up some rays with my puffer jacket on.

        I will NOT be getting up early on Saturday, that’s for sure.
