Foggy Days

Today has brought with it lots of fog. It is pretty chilly and I'm about to nip off to the hairdressers for about three hours (that's the average length visit anyway).
As usual the dogs have found the toastiest places the laze around (before I cruelly eject them into the cold). Beans has taken to laying under the millions of clothes horses I've got set up to attempt to dry washing. They create nice warm pockets of air which this pretty little boy seeks out.

Good old Melbourne weather. Came across this in my lazy day reading today:

"The day had brightened as much as it was going to, just before the sun prepared to leave. This is a Melbourne weather custom and never fails to annoy both inhabitants and visitors. Melbourne is the only city I know of where you must, at all times and in all seasons, carry an umbrella and a pair of sunglasses. A full change of clothes, a lot of coins to buy tram tickets, sunscreen, a snakebite kit and a charm to repel beggars are also useful. No, I exaggerate. You don't often need a snakebite kit... Late morning would bring clouds and by afternoon it would be either (1) raining or (2) freezing or (3) both. That's why the sunnies and the mac are essential on any day in our great city, where there are four seasons in one day. If there were six seasons, there'd be six."
