Cold

I am very impressed with all the pictures accross the web of Britian coming to a standstill. How come every time a single drop of snow falls there is a national failure of all the transport infrastructure. England hit by worst snowfalls in 18 Years!! That is quite something and I have to admit I am a little jealous of all the snow but surely by now somebody has put Snow and February together?!!

We on the otherhand find ourselves in the opposite extreme. This week has been the hottest in Melbourne for 100 Years with consecutive temperatures in the low 40's. Anyone watching the tennis would have noticed the players were suffering. Ironically enough our Transport system failed completely as well. Trains reported air-conditioning faults and suddenly there was a mass of cancellations. Does nothing work anywhere. We had a deluge of visitors to watch the tennis finals and I have to wonder if everyone would have called round had we not got air-con and a huge telly.

Personally I suspect that when a train driver wakes up and see's snow outside his window he goes back to bed. If he see's hot sunshine he goes to the beach! Thats the only way I can explain it.

St Kilda festival starts this week. We have a temporary nightclub outside the front of the house and at the weekend they are going to close St Kilda's roads and have a massive party! Sounds fun with street entertainment and music and drunken people all over the place. And on the same weekend we are going to have a meal on the Tram Restaurant. I just cannot wait! Although they are predicting a high of 44 on Saturday so I hope the tram driver is better than the train drivers.

Should have some more pictures soon, has to be a quickie today as I am at work, we failed to get ourselves to a Internet Cafe at the weekend.
