Still alive!

Well its December, the month of freezing temperatures, snow and ice, dark nights and 3 layers of clothes....but not for me!!
Its HOT HOT HOT here already. Although it is officially summer now its only just begun and its already hitting 25c most days, even the days when its not sunny.

Now Im far from complaining about the heat and the sun but it does make the whole Christmas thing a wee bit strange. Seeing people buying xmas trees and putting up lights while its sunny just isn't right somehow. But at least it doesnt seem like such a huge commercial money making scam over here. Yes there are xmas decs in the shops and there is the occasional xmas song being played while you buy your wrapping paper but its definitely not so in your face as Im used to in the UK.

Counting down the weeks now till my mum comes over to visit. The time seems to be flying by so she'll be here before I know it.
