Saturday 13th April 2013, 5.50pm (day 597)
At home it should be getting warmer and lighter right now (and may well be – I can’t say I really care), but here, in accordance with the earth’s axial tilt, the evenings are darkening and there is a cooler feel to the air. Not that it has ever been exactly dry and summery since I arrived here, not in Brisbane anyway. Of more salience is the question of just what I was doing at work on campus until 5.50pm on a Saturday….

Love this photo, the QUT campus is beautiful at night, especially on a rainy one. Forget Summer though, if Brisbane has been rainy since you arrived you have almost experienced it at its best.
Oh, I don’t mind Lulu – but it has been noticeable that all the rain I have seen during these 11 weeks in Australia/NZ has fallen here, with the exception of one day in Hobart.
