Finally, the long weekend is here... Since I've been back from the US, the last few weeks have involved a couple of trips to Melbourne, and other out-of-the-office activities. I'm happy to be home for the forseeable future.
Unfortunately, summer is well and truly gone. Going from spring to summer six months ago, the effect on Sydney was immediately obvious -- people outside in a very festive, partying mood. I had never quite noticed Sydney coming to life this way on the whim of a changing season, but the contrast in temperature between spring and summer was extreme.
It looks like winter is going to be a little harsher than in more recent years. The storms from the last few days have resulted in 50,000 people in Sydney blacked out, as well as 50,000 on the Central Coast, and 100,000 in the Hunter Valley. Nearby Cremorne Wharf was swept into the harbour last night.
And I thought the weather in Melbourne was bad :)
