Hey Chrome. I like the grey clouds. Sadly, no, the really hot weather has really only just begun. We won't be rid of it until March, maybe April. Melbourne's weather is renowned for being variable. We can have a 39 degree day followed by a 20 degree day. I like it that way. Well, I don't like 39 degrees, but you always know that there will be cool weather on the way eventually.

Where do you live? Richmond?
ReplyDeleteDon't answer that ...
Not a bad view at all despite the grey weather. Does this mean that the really hot days are over?
