  Today was my first day back in Melbourne after my holiday. I miss the heat of the tropics already, but at the same time, I welcome the reassuring chill of the Melbourne air.
The first thing I noticed about Melbourne, looking outside in the morning, was that the sunlight is a lot dimmer (on a sunny day) than Queensland. I suppose we are about 20 degrees south of where I just was, but still… it seemed to be noticeably darker outside. I spent the day catching up on TV shows that had been recorded for me while I was away. The Bill, My Restaurant Rules etc. I also went through several emails that had been waiting for me since my return. I also had a bit of a play with my blog- by updating it so that people can now post comments at every entry if they want to. I would like to be able to add photos of what I do each day- but I am not sure how to do that just yet. I might have to set up my own site and host it on blogspot to do what I want to do…… we’ll see. By the end of the day, I was feeling a little depressed.
My holiday was over. I can now no longer sit outside and get hot just by sitting in the sun. No more going outside without a jacket and pair of trakkies. And definitely no more going for long long swims in the ocean. Well not until next time anyway. It is a shame this city was not built in the tropics. It would be absolutely perfect then. But overall, I would much rather live here than up there, so I guess I cannot complain too much! Nothin else doing for today- time to get going.. Catchyas
