Happy March 27th

Please excuse me while I go put on this

and these

to go out in the multiple inches of snow that fell overnight.

This week in Doha, it's forecast to be a high of 95° and a low of 68°.  In Perth, it's forecast to be a high of 88° and low of 59°.   In both places, the forecast is showing unrestricted sunshine.

And here?  We're showing a high of 45° and a low of 30° with snow showers/rain all week.

While I don't regret moving here for a second, today I really wish that I could be relaxing on the beach in Australia, or even compound poolside in Qatar, instead of trudging through the snow.  One day I am going to get myself a pair of snowshoes to get around town here; in the meantime, I'll be browsing for a hot vacation destination ASAP.

There's Something Wrong with This Picture

It's currently 'summer' in the United Kingdom and winter in Australia.  It's also currently the middle of the afternoon in the United Kingdom and the late evening on the west coast of Australia.  But the weather looks like this:




There's definitely something wrong with this picture.  Currently missing the sunshine but loving the green everywhere.  I just can't win, can I?
