It will be cold

It will be cold

Stubborn! This happens pretty regularly. We haven’t had much of a winter in Sydney this year and we’ve had plenty of days where you hardly need long sleeves. But if you get caught outside without warmer clothes it can suck.

So cold

Sydney has been having a pretty warm winter. I think the average has been around 19 Celsius and it regularly gets into the 20’s. I haven’t bothered that much with warm clothing but last night the temperature dropped and I was out in only a light jacket.

This isn’t the first time it’s been pointed out to me that winters in Korea are really really cold. I’ve only been in Korea during spring and summer but when we move there it will be winter. I’m in for a nasty shock I think. My body will not be used to that at all, which why I think 13 degrees is cold! Meanwhile British people in Sydney are walking around in t-shirts saying, “What lovely summer weather this is!” but Sydney-siders are rugged up in winter coats and scarves.

Stay tuned for my commentary on Korean winters next year! If I haven’t died…

Also, I’ve just arrived in my hometown and I’m staying here for a few days. My husband is still in Sydney for work though. It is colder in my hometown than in Sydney. Don’t be fooled into thinking that Australia is always warm and sunny, there is a huge variation of temperature and weather.

Also, I still have that poo song stuck in my head. Arghhhh!
