Blue


After an eternity of rain (50 continuous days), then the worst winter and snow in a hundred years, I went outside today to find Brixton lit up with brilliant sunshine and blue skies. I have been aching for some warmth since I arrived here a few months ago and today, finally, it was warm enough for me just stroll around my neighbourhood, soaking up the sun.

Perhaps I am fussy, but I don't mean the oppressive humidity of Singapore, or the bone-dry 44 degree oven of Melbourne, I just want a moderately dry 25-30 degrees, with a cool evening breeze, the weather my Brazilian friend is having over her summer. Thats the weather I want right now...

But perhaps I am just being overly wishful today under the blue sky...

I get that way sometimes :)

You have a real empathy and your blog is written with wit and sadness all rolled up into 1. I have read through your last years of entries and laughed, cried, shouted and giggled (sometimes all at the same time and it was not a pretty site!). You have the ability to engage not just the mind but the heart - and this is not something you can learn, but something you are. Thank you for being you in this blog
