Yesterday, in Melbourne Australia, there
was further proof that Spring is on its way (beside the pages rolling over on my desk calendar and my restless feet whispering 'holiday .... holiday').
The sun shone
Yup, by 9am the sun was shining warmly
and the temperature climbed up enough to feel warm-ish.
The best bit? The ‘tradies’ were in shorts!
I had solar panels installed at the ‘seachange’
yesterday, and four young tradesmen came to start the job at 7am (yawn!).
They were all wearing long pants and
fluoro safety jackets to start with, but by 10am they were all in tee shirts and
shorts.
Is this one of the seasonal
indicators? The ‘tradie’ thermometer: With
summer will it be shorts only (on the young ones) or shorts and blue singlets (on
the older ones who can’t cut the naked torso any more)? Then when winter rolls in again, the knitted 'beanies' and khaki coloured long legged work pants and yellow fluro safety jackets get shaken out.
Either way, I basked my cold bones in
the sun shining through the window and sat outside with my cup of tea when I was
having a break from painting (painting window frames is probably the most awful
painting job in the world; apart from
skirting boards. Hope to show some 'before
and after' pics of at least one room soon.)
