Sunny mind games, especially on weekends

The problem with the British summer is that it has the ability to get you to reconsider things. Maybe the winter isn't so bad, maybe the country isn't that glum. People are in better moods, birds are chirping in the trees and we are all walking around in our shorts event when the wind does usually gives us a chill.

The problem is obviously now the big question of "Is it better anywhere else?" Taking family out of the equation, there are winters in Australia and England and South Africa. As another blogger so adequately put it, "you need to take the rubbish out here too".

I guess the difference is the extent of the "outdoor" lifestyle. In UK we go sit in parks, in Australia they sit next to the sea. In England we have a pint next to the river... not sure what the same thing is in Oz but I'm assuming you drink a pint on the beach.

You can not help bring into the equation that a sane person can actually go into the water in Oz in summer. I've tried it in UK once it was freezing!

So now, waiting for the winter to set in again for our moods to shift towards sunnier dreams again. I'm contently enjoying the British summer. Let see how the mood shifts when it gets dark at 4pm next.
