Its late Autumn and only 2-3 weeks 'til Winter starts.
I'm out walking at lunchtime and everything registers correctly: leaves lying on the pavement, russet brown and deep yellow leaves hanging on the trees, that strange sort of crisp clear air missing the summer heat haze, Melburnians walking around with big jumpers and scarves.
Unfortuately my brain is confused because all this is incongrous with the 21 degrees temperature, cloudless skies, and little rivulets of sweat running down my back!
On a completely unrelated note the seriousness with which they take sport here is scary. My 10 year old is now taking swimming lessons at 5:30 am (we'll see how long that lasts), and now she is doing hockey and footie at school, needs shin pads and a mouth guard!
