We have, by Brisbane standards, had a very cold winter. The overnight lows have been single digits and we have had windy days that keep the temperature down. But finally, as of September 1, Spring has arrived.

We have had a complete turn around in our weather, from cool and grey to warm and clear, and we are having trouble keeping ourselves focussed. On weekend mornings we make all kinds of plans for what we are going to do, but we seem to peter out later in the morning, and we end up cutting our plans in half. Instead of a day of activity, we have a morning of activity, followed by an afternoon down by the river and an evening barbeque or dinner out.

This spring fever could also be due to the holiday that we start on thursday, spending two weeks in Broome and Darwin. We only know a few people who have been to Darwin and only know friends of friends who have been to Broome. We are really looking forward to this trip. We are going to go to the Horizontal Falls in the Kimberley, ride camels on a beach, visit Litchfield National Park and about a hundred other things, or so we have planned. This is our first real Australian vacation (of more than a week) and we might just find ourselves with big plans in the morning that turn into afternoons at the beach or the pool. That's not so bad, is it?
