summer.

This season in Australia is pure insanity, I swear. Currently Sydney is suffering from a heatwave with temperatures of high thirties and forties, and I am a person built for loving winter. Never ever underestimate my appreciation for my job in a shopping centre = eight hour shifts equal eight hours with blissfully free air conditioned surroundings. Also, those of you from the northern hemisphere who complain of the cold; I will happily trade places with you.

I am aching, literally, for autumn.

Anyway. Went for an outing this morning to catch the sunrise at Longreef then trekked it to Dee Why. I fail spectacularly at photography in low light situations but for the sake of seeing the beach at dawn (before the blistering heat settled in) was so worth it. Those who live near the beach and have the conviction to wake up at ungodly hours are some of the luckiest people on earth.
