Winter

Winter has hit home hard in the past few days and we have had colds and sniffles.

It's been windy windy windy and cold cold cold! We've been sitting around all day under blankets on the sofa watching crappy daytime TV. Not very interesting. We are feeling a little bit guilty that Chris isn't being offered a full-on Brisbane experience, but it's absolutely brass monkeys.

It might actually be colder inside the house than out, since houses here don't seem to be designed with winter in mind, having no insulation and no heating. Brrrr!

Still we should have the car back tomorrow, ending - hopefully - our low-impact lifestyle though I'm sure we'll be minimising the use of the car as we consider what we want to do with our living and transport arrangements.

Today we're thinking that we might go out on the train somewhere, but we're yet to choose a destination.
