One event I've attended every year since moving to Brisbane is the Birman Club Christmas party. This year was no exception, although I'd considered not going, simply because it's a 150km round trip and I was already tired when I woke up this morning. But I went, and I'm glad I did. The weather held and for a change I wasn't driving back in a storm, although one hit just after I got home.

Storms have been quite frequent this spring / summer. Back to the hot, sultry days I remember from my childhood, which were always cooled off by a late afternoon storms. The storms nowadays just make everything more humid, rather than cooling things down, but that's probably because I now live nearly 1000km north of where I grew up, so I'm that much closer to the Tropic of Capricorn.





Totally unrelated to the post, but it's from The Goodies so that makes it okay.
