It’s almost here. First day over 30 (expected top of 33°C), the first test in an Ashes series and Christmas decorations beginning to appear.
Mind you I’ll be oscilating between two extremes this afternoon – sitting here in 33 degree heat watching the test from the Gabba whilst listening to the Canucks do battle streaming live from Vancouver – where it will 6°. Sunnies on the eyes, ear muffs on the ears.
