Even though we are still one month away from the official start of winter, we have had a very cool and unwelcome bit of weather. Although it won't garner us too much sympathy, last week we had a low of 12C overnight and the daytime high has been only around 25C. From Friday evening to Sunday morning it rained constantly, resulting in 115mm in two days, more rain than the 50ish mm we had cumulative all month!
Late fall/early winter in Brisbane...it seems pleasant, but we can't take a picture of the humidity!
It's not just cold for us. The tropical creatures are obviously finding it a little hard to take, too. On Thursday night JB was arranging her pillows before getting into bed, when something jumped off the pillows and onto the bed...it was a gecko! After a reasonable amount of shrieking, JB was able to tell JT what the problem was. Caretaker that he is, he promptly went for the weapon of choice, the vacuum cleaner! It was tricky work and we felt pretty bad about it, but we sucked that cheeky devil up. Friday night when we got home from work, JT checked to see if the little guy was actually alive and he was! We took the vacuum cannister outside, opened it up, and the gecko shot out of there like a dusty bolt of lightning. Hopefully he tells his friends: stay out of our bed!
