With a string of several 45+ days in a row here in Melbourne, I thought things would be pretty bad in Sydney.TimThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10333303180015967125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7529903.post-56717202945159684772009-08-23T21:17:47.825+10:002009-08-23T21:17:47.825+10:00Apparently the poet Wallace Stevens was completely...Apparently the poet Wallace Stevens was completely obsessed with weather and its patterns and its effects on the human mood.

Something to do with the extreme changeability of the weather, and it's habit of thinking in extremes (case in point: last summer, unbearable in Sydney, worse in Melbourne.)<br /><br />Somehow it makes it a little more bearable, at the beginning of a shockingly hot or cold or rainy or dry dry, to look at that little weather forecast that tells you things are going to be awful. <br /><br />Oh wait. No it doesn't. <br /><br />Maybe it's just a traumatic reaction then.TimThttp://willtypeforfood.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7529903.post-60660164440685007172009-08-22T22:55:24.650+10:002009-08-22T22:55:24.650+10:00Maybe it's time for another poll...Maybe it's time for another poll...TimThttp://willtypeforfood.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7529903.post-81385463206282618822009-08-22T20:09:44.312+10:002009-08-22T20:09:44.312+10:00Does that mean I should wash the linen or will it ...Does that mean I should wash the linen or will it rain on my clean sheets?Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03417138778733226637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7529903.post-43226572286303743622009-08-21T23:22:22.813+10:002009-08-21T23:22:22.813+10:00Oh darn you Melburnians!

I made friends with a Melburnian on email who insisted on telling me about the Melbourne weather every email - that is, starting every email with a weather update including temperature, cloudiness, humidity etc.<br /><br />Eventually I told her I didn't really need to know every email and she wrote back, "What? You are not interesting in the weather?"<br /><br />I told her I was interesting in the weather, I just wasn't that INTERESTED IN IT. Not sure she got it.<br /><br />ANyway, to you TimT, have a most Melburnian of Melburnian weather-obsessed weekend!<br /><br />May you be most interesting!<br /><br />19 degrees, partly cloudy, wind W 19kn/h, humidity 49 per cent.<br /><br />How's it with you guys?Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16371925558254933645noreply@blogger.com
