chunder down under

It seems like spring is here at last, and although outwardly there does not seem to be much change (temperature seems to be 28C each day rather than 27C, and UV rating is now extreme rather than high) it does feel like it is sunnier and warmer. Luckily I should be gone from here before the summer hits and the humidity rises, but this is the best time of the year.
We had a Brazilian friend of William's visiting us for a long weekend (Camilla) and I got dragged out to show them the nightlife of Cairns. After a few bars we ended up in the Woolshed, Cairns's most infamous backpacker bar. It was as tacky as I remember, but Camilla enjoyed it: dancing on top of the table as only a brazilian can. We left at about 3am and went for a pizza at a cafe on the esplanade.
She's now flown back to Victoria, William's gone to New Zealand for a week, Misuk's flown to Brisbane for a few days and Matt seems to have vanished. It's good to have the place a bit more to myself for a change, but it's still not exactly homely.
