Shoes
Posted Feb 24, 2000
My friend Justine called me today to say those two magical words: "shoe sale". My favourite shoe store (let's call it Bob's (because that's its name)) is having a big sale. I dropped everything immediately (of course!) and headed down to my idea of heaven. I know it's cliche, but I couldn't help myself. Ended up buying a very nice pair of Italian sandals at half price. And I'm pretty pleased with myself too (can you tell?)

Melbourne
Posted Feb 7, 2000
I've just returned from three days in weird old Melbourne. Trust my luck to be there for one of the hottest nights on record (all that sweating made me so dehydrated I'm all crispy). Other than that little weather thing, Melbourne was even more glorious than on my last visit - or maybe it was just all the champagne.

Serves me right
Posted Jan 23, 2000
I should have known better. All this complaining about the heat has taken effect, and now we're experiencing even weirder weather for this time of year . . . yep, RAIN. It's the wettest January on record. We've had buckets of it, and half the state is flooded. The downside is that the thunderstorms have been keeping me awake all night. The upside is that I don't have to worry about watering the garden (not that I did anyway, but at least now I don't have to worry about the garden dying).
At this rate, I'm expecting snow in February.

HOT!!!
Posted Dec 29, 1999
Whewwwwwww!! I can't remember it being this hot for this long in December. It seems we're having our February heatwave early this year - damn Y2K seems to be messing with everything!
It's going to be 38C for the next three days before plummetting to a mere 35C . . . and it's been over 35 for the last six days in a row.
I'm such a wimp when it comes to sustained hot weather. The days I can handle, but those hot sweaty nights . . . no good for me - I wake up very grumpy

Shortlived glory

Quokkas is currently on the most neglected list. That's a bit tragic isn't it? I guess I can stop being excited at having my very own guide entry now.
I don't think I even got fifteen minutes of fame. Damn that Warhol.
