Clear Blue Skies

City Entertainment for a Wintry Brisbane

20 June 2011 Entertainment Australia

As we head into the depths of winter here in Australia, it’s strange that the weathermen have recently declared ‘sunny with clear blue skies’ as, once again, the default weather for the foreseeable future in Brisbane. Strange for me, that is. Being from England I’m used to winters being wetter than summers. Not so for [...]

At Last. A Hot and Sunny Day in Australia.

But before that….. What year is it? Hold on, I’ll have a look. Ah, yes, it’s about 42 years past the moon landing. Almost half a century since man first set foot on the moon.

17 February 2009 Australia vs UK

I explained what we’d got up to on Sunday in yesterdays post, but what of Saturday? Saturday was a very grey day, weather wise. All day it was just grey, cloudy and dull. I can’t remember if it rained or not. I don’t think it did. It will come as no surprise to you that [...]
