Finally, what I’ve been waiting for has happened. There’s a touch of autumn in the air with the temperature down to 15C. For the first time since November I’ve actually pulled up my duvet. And I even get an extra hour tonight to enjoy it. Lovely. ---

Ah how I love autumn. Here in PA USA it is spring, which is nice too, but that will lead to the dreaded summer (I hate hot weather.) Enjoy. 🙂 ---

I’m also in SW Pa., Khadaji, and I’m with you 100%. The only good thing about summer is that you don’t have to shovel rain. ---

No one understands why I am ambivilent about spring-- everyone else is oohing and aahhing over the warmer weather and all I can thinks is: “It’s gonna be 90F soon. This sucks.” I hate summer. When I lived in St. Louis the winters were wicked and the summer’s brutual… I would walk to work in -10F winters smiling, 'cause it wasn’t 98F. ---

I hit target yesterday, and got a nice, warm and fluffy chennile dressing-gown, and a great big tracksuit jacket, just coz of the cold weather. I even got to wear the jacket on the way home. It felt so good! ---

Wow, I was seriously bewildered there for a minute. \*“Autumn?” _checks date of post_ Yesterday, 06:31 AM _checks calender_ April 1. Hmm, April Fool’s. Maybe it’s a prank but… I don’t get it. But it’s definitley April. _scratches head_ _checks Doper location_ (which is actually there, thank you - see my rant in the pit) Ah, OK. All is well then. Whew.\* ---

You just got the dregs of the low pressure system heading over from WA, so as much as you are relishing the cool stuff, be prepared to kick the doona off soon. Indian Summer and all of that… 😉 I speak as a Melburnian. I should know. 😃 ---

You know what? I LOVE cool weather. Apparently, however, my Tiny Girl does not. Why else would I be posting at 1:35 am? Grrrrrrr
