What the crap is with the tropical weather? Srsly. 27-30 degrees, sunny but humid in the morning, clouds come over around lunch time and then PISSING TORRENT OF OMFG RAIN THUNDER AND LIGHTNING at around 3:30. And did I mention humid? The carpet's going to start going mouldy soon. The South Parklands have turned into the South Wetlands and flooded Glen Osmond Road, we lost another branch off the cedar, and I'm still perfectly comfortable in slinky silk nighties.

This is so not summer D: We're surrounded by thousands of square ks of desert with a bit of sea out that way. We're supposed to be getting baked, not steamed. THIS IS WEIRD.

Also, we lost the cricket. The packet my cricket tickets came in say on the front 'History will be Made'. No shit. The Poms are going to win the Ashes on Aussie soil for the first time in about three decades. Sunday, when Anna P and I went, was fun despite the cricket! We took cold chicken and salad with Danish feta, sundried tomatoes and olives, carrot/celery sticks and dip, and other yummies :D Cricket was... we were losing by that point already. Two wickets all day, then it started pouring with rain at tea (spot on 3:30, see? TROPICAL) and there wasn't another ball bowled the rest of the day, so we came home and had a Midori splice on the balcony instead.

I keep getting reminded of various tropical holidays, mostly Bali. Can almost smell Indonesian cigarettes, it's that tropical. Wtf, Adelaide, wtf.

I know! It's crazy. Canberra's dams are all at 100% thanks to all the rain we've had. In fact, we had a month's worth of rain in one day! And now they're telling me I'll be lucky to get 4 full days of sunshine in December! What is this, Tasmania?
