You know you're in an Australian Summer When...
-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

The best parking place is determined by shade instead
of distance. (yep I can agree with that I drove around
the shopping centre for 1/2 hour on friday looking for
a shady place to park the car)

Hot water now comes out of both taps. (and sometimes
the hot water tap is cooler than the cold water tap)

You learn that a seat belt buckle makes a pretty good
branding iron. (especially when you are in a bikini)

The temperature drops below 35C and you feel a little
chilly. (yep I put on a pair of jeans this morning coz
I was a bit cool)

You discover that in February it only takes 2 fingers
to steer your car. (and in january only 1)

You discover that you can get sunburned through your
car window. (I love the fact that my right arm is
darker than the left)

You develop a fear of metal car door handles.
(actually of anything metal that has been sitting
outside)

You break a sweat the instant you step outside at 7:30
a.m. (yep - around 4am is a nice coolish time of the
day)

Your biggest bicycle wreck fear is, "What if I get
knocked out and end up lying on the pavement and cook
to death?"

You realise that asphalt has a liquid state. (yep and
the bottom of school shoes melt when walking on the
road)

Farmers are feeding their chickens crushed ice to keep
them from laying hard-boiled eggs.

The cows are giving evaporated milk.

The trees are whistling for the dogs.

Ink - who really wishes she was in the cold weather
you lot are dealing with in Pomgolia right now
(Pomgolia - new name we've made up for england)
