I was surprised to find the weather today wasn’t half bad; it’s been crappy and raining for a few days – which reminded me very nostalgically of Melbourne, with how quickly we went from summer to winter, and furthermore the daily pattern of rain in the mornings and sunny afternoons. Still not a huge amount… Read more
Plans are afoot for me, accompanied by Laz, to cruise over to Whistler in early February. For a week or so, probably. He’s moving to Canada in mid-January sometime and naturally wants to make good use of the winter straight away, especially given he’s never been skiing or snowboarding before.
