I’m in Canberra this morning, where the temperature dropped to -6.9C overnight, making it the coldest night this early in the year on record. The choir needed a lot of warming up before mass! ---

Wow. That’s almost… Canadian. Got your parka, boots, mitts, toque, scarf, big thick socks, sweater, and long johns on? 🙂 ---

I have a jacket and gloves. Just ordinary shoes and socks though. And I don’t even possess any long johns. The temperature’s up to 10C and now, and it’s a glorious autumn morning. ---
