We were warned about this. Whilst we were all dancing around happily in our shorts and walking around in bare feet, remarking on how fantastic the 32 degree heat and sunny weather was, and how we didn't mind the Australian winter one bit, they all warned us about the 'September Slump'. And did we believe them?
Nope.
But as of the past few days, we sure as hell do. Now I know us Brits are always ones to rant about the weather, but this has been ridiculous. It all began with crazy gale force winds which were so strong that it meant that you didn't have to walk anywhere, you kinda just got blown along, and there was no need to actually go to the gym, just walking back and forth from lectures was enough resistance training thank you very much.
At first it was all warm and quite exciting, like the wind in Pocohontas (that bit when she sings that power ballad and dances through the air. No? Well here you go then...)
Moo, Ella and Maisie, this song reminds me so much of you guys for some reason!?
(Feel educated now? Good.) But then it got very cold and cloudy and then, this morning, IT STARTED TO RAIN. Not only is this just rain, it's torrential rain and it hasn't stopped all day. Mass panic and very obscure outfits have broken out across campus and attendance for all lectures has dropped by at least 10% as no one wants to walk anywhere!

It's be horrible and Goose and I are miserable but weirdly nostalgic as we feel like we're back in Newcastle/Edinburgh again. I seriously don't understand how we deal with this weather on a day to day basis usually!? It looks like it's going to rain again tomorrow, but then the rest of the week picks up and goes back to sunshine.
Thank god for that.
