Summer is on its way!

[Cormanus]

as things have evolved, ES, I was wrong. The team decided on a swim and, as it was either 2 cars or 1 car and me on the bike, I made the sacrifice. 25-30 kms to Noosa, said to be one of Australia's best resorts, along good, quick rural roads. It was warm—high 20s °C—and I was hot in my jeans and mesh jacket. I was naughty and wore sandals. A swim in the glorious Pacific Ocean cooled me off for a cup of coffee and a pleasant ride home along the same roads.

I know we miss the romance and tradition of a 'white' christmas here in the Antipodes, but I'll take the summer any day.
