Day 40, 9 Feb 2017: First day of 'freedom'...

Day 40: ...was all rather bleak

We've enjoyed very pleasant weather these last few weeks. Cold, but sunny. Blue skies. Lovely. It's been very hard sitting inside marking and grading while outside has looked so nice. 

Today, however, first day of freedom from the chains of grades...and it snowed. It rained. The temperature failed to get above five degrees. 

Snow *looks* nice. But commuting on trains, buses and walks between stations makes it, well, less than pleasant. And it is cold, a cold you really feel. 

There's a port out there...

Not even the wheel could offer its usual colour

Ships barely registered

The lights came on

The Bridge in the mists of time


It is not what a Queenslander is terribly used to but it won't be for much longer. I hope. It is February after all, surely we can see spring coming. 

Surely.
