Southern Hemisphere ladies..it's spring!!! YAY!!

[nomummytummy]

OK so I am an Aussie living in NZ. In Sydney - spring means warmer days, getting to hot - it's all great.

In Wellington spring means rain, rain and more rain with wind so it comes in horizontal. I start joking about getting SAD (Seasonal affective disorder) and fantasinging about getting enough sun to get sunburnt. yeah i know that sunburn is all bad. The first 2 years i was here, I even went into a sunbed a couple of times to feel warm inside.

so our clocks went forward last night & I'm sitting here with the central heating on, a fleece & a thermal top. I'm seasonally confused

Ahhhhh....

The sweet sound of the airconditioner humming at night... BF and I turned it on around 10pm because ti was too hot to sleep. I was going to say it's only september then looked at my watch. "Oh! It's October now!"

Looking for a max of 29C today. It was 14C last night. Sun, Sun, Sun, Sun, Sun all week.
Next sunday I'm doing the Brisbane to Gold Coast, 100km! It's going to be very hot 32 degrees and SUNNY! The minimum they're predicting is 18 degrees which is as hot as it got during the coldest days of winter.

EEEP.

I'll be packing the sunscreen. And I'm considering taking my camelback as well as my waterbottles. It's gonna be a hell of a day!

With the change to daylight savings I managed to get an after work ride in today - yay. The forecase is not that flash for tomorrow though

LOL Sure we have the HOT weather. But WE also have the Very High UV danger and the very high fire danger all this week. For all I know I'll be riding into a smoky haze to get to the gold coast.

Looks like they got it wrong, eh kiwi girl. Think I'll head out for a few flat kms after lunch...

School holidays eh?

by the time I got home I thought the rain was on its way, so I went for a walk instead of taking the bike out - then it didn't rain so I was annoyed I didn't ride
