Thanks - sometimes the urge still comes up. Seems slower to recede than desire to drink long ago. Could be a couple of reasons:
- smoked for about 3x as long (39 vs 13 years)
- consequences of smoking less severe and smoking more a part of waking actions, while only drink part of the day when was a daily drinker.
We'll be glad to take some of your heat for our cold.
And then you can have some of ours when Northern hemisphere summer.
Autumn. I love autumn, unfortunately its brief here. Spring, even briefer. I wish I was in England...
The ice does sound lovely though, but that's just cause it's hotter than hell here right now...I think I just saw a cat evaporate (joke).I actually kind of agree. I think we have three short autumn seasons and three short springs, a brief winter and a long arduous summer. Sydney has set a record this week for the most days over 30 in february.
There are several strays who frequently visit us for food and friendship. We usually leave the garage door open half a foot so they can come in and go out.Damn. I've seen the news. It seems like you guys are getting the opposite but just as severe as us.
The 4 seasons do correspond to specific astronomical events, but temperatures lag. And w have ambiguity in our usage. Is the summer solstice the beginning of summer or midsummer?There is actually workable theory that Australia doesn't have four seasons but eight more subtle ones. Most of the indigenous cultures believe in more than the standard four and I gotta defer to them—they been here longer.
