According to the Museum of Victoria, "In some parts of the world, such as Australia, seasons begin on the first day of a particular calendar month - in March for Autumn, June for Winter, September for Spring and December for Summer. In other countries such as Britain, it’s accepted that the seasons begin on the dates that the Earth passes four special points in its orbit about the Sun". The problem in Australia is that in September the weather gets most un-winter like. For example, it's a glorious day in Sydney today with a forecast top of 24, and tomorrow a top of 27. Hardly the stuff of winter. Mind you, I also noticed that the weather in Hobart will deteriorate next week with a forecast top of only 12 one day. Could this be caused by Tom's hot air leaving the state, or does the sun really shine out of his arse thereby causing a cold spell when he departs? An interesting question.

Can this be right? And the forecast for Peterborough today (last day of summer) is 21 degrees and cloudy. Let me think about that for a split second. Thinking over - Hobart sounds good. But then again in Santorini (where Pete is) the forecast is 5 days of sunshine and 32 degrees each day. I guess he'll just get thirsty and have to have a beer to recover.

There was a bird calling at uni just before, tried to twitch it but I think it was on the roof. Thanks to Tommy and Tiiiiim for mending my bike. Tim-tim - I'll call you this week and pick up those pedals? Thanks. That didn’t take long to make 50! There was a bird calling at uni just before, tried to twitch it but I think it was on the roof.
