haha Snowy, isnt it so funny the Brits complaing about the weather. The other day i was talking to FIL, and he said "Victoria doesnt get hotter than it is now, does it?" I just laughed and explained that that particular day is normal in Summer in Oz. I sware it was only 30 degrees that day. He couldnt believe it. I walk around in jeans and a t-shirt, whilst everyone else is walking around in barely nothing, thinking im mental.
Im also obsessed with sunscreen, which im told is crazy. Our neighbours sit outside in the direct sunlight ALL DAY in their underwear, EVERY DAY, and here i am thinking they are crazy and stupid. I am so aware of skin cancer (after my mum had a scare), and sun stroke (after a stupid day at the beach a couple of years ago), i cant help but be outraged at some peoples careless sun behaviour.
I was watching BBC news yesterday, they reported they had hit the 35 degree mark, new record! I have only had one Australian Summer in 5 years, but i still laugh at the euro weather reports "Its going to be a warm one tomorrow, 15 degrees". classic. THEN you go back to Australian Winter to "OMG, it was 1 degree this morning!!".
