21 degrees!!, & here I am in autumn-y Sydney putting my 85% down quilt on my bed for the first time this year. Thin blanket & woolen shawl have been enough in the past few weeks, but it getting colder.

Forecast was 18 today but we only got to 16 (feels like 12 due to the wind.)

It was 14 (feels like 11 cos of the wind) around 3.30 this afternoon when I went out, warmly wrapped, to buy the paper & a few groceries. I walked past a teenager in a mini skirt, striding along on very white legs. I can't say they were blue with the cold, but they probably weren't so obviously pale earlier in the day! April & May are the times when some folks still dress for summer ...

We're expecting 9 tonight in my part of Sydney near the harbour, & 19 tomorrow. Sydney's western suburbs are expecting between 3 & 5 tonight, & all expect 19 tomorrow.
