So, we are back, again.  TIB and I freezing our arses off, but this is what I wanted to experience.  A Canberra Winter.

So here I am typing away, inside a very well appointed and geared up house. 

It is drizzling.

I am wearing five layers and the air con heat is on.  Comfy.

The fifth layer is my Clint Eastwood Pale Rider poncho.

We are here for maybe some months as Brother/SIL go caravansarai. 

Looking forward to a dry day so I can fire up the outdoor, on balcony, fire pit.

Lovely.

This.....

Nah....can't get a copy up.

Try again....

Nah.

This should be in Travel Board

The bastard who decided to put "Canberra" here needs to be dragged from their grave and permanently pilloried.

That is all.

You know that the site was deliberately chosen by Parkes, Barton etc. because it was a well known fact that British people and Europeans in general functioned better in cold climates, maintaining their drive and moral character, whereas the tropics quickly reduced Europeans to idleness and depravity.  :) 

Chill out Aussie. It's not like you'll be there for years.
You probably will realise that wearing QLD thongs doesn't help.

Please tell me that bastard is buried here somewhere, so I can gave the prick dug up for that permanent pillory at the steps of Parliament House, as well!
