Summer is coming...

Things I like about Summer in Sydney...
Not being cold
My hair drying within 5 minutes of washing it
The laundry drying quickly
Blue skies, flowers...
Ice cream!
The pool (would prefer the beach, but it's over an hour away!)
Christmas :)

Things I don't like about Summer in Sydney...
Waking up in the night because it's hot
Waking up because after removing my covers, it's cold
Waking up because I'm hot again after putting covers back
Waking up in the night because the owls, frogs, cicadas make noise all night outside my window
Waking up because I drank a lot of water due to the hot day and now have to pee
Getting sore ears after swimming
Bushfires :(
When it's too hot to put things in the oven...

My list could go on. I generally love Summer, everyone seems more cheerful and less serious than in Winter. :)
Today I did the laundry, had a driving lesson with a practice test which I managed to fail twice, in the same test! I swear I'm not stupid, the test is just really stupid! There are things you have to do in order to pass that are totally petty and irrelevant to road safety. It's making me crazy, I'm having nightmares over this! So this morning wasn't great. Then I walked up to the shops to get lunch, came back, watched Friends with Missy, and then spent the afternoon swimming with Matt. I haven't had a chance to see him much lately, since he works long hours and night shifts.
I asked him where Arabica is, as in Arabica coffee...he said "It's imaginary. Like Poland." LOL he's amusing. He also started talking about "British and Waleish people"...err...Welsh people.
Then we had pizza for dinner with the whole family, and Mum and I attempted to explain the internet to Opa. He nodded, stood up, and walked away muttering "www dot shit!" He's such a cute old guy!
