Metereological Games


I think I’ve got this weather thing all wrong.
I started last week, all ready for the blustery elements. Trousers. Shirts. Jacket. Scarf.
The day was not too bad. I saw people walking around with T – shirts on. I took my jacket off for more of the day than I had it on.
So, lose the scarf, lose the jacket. A couple of days later, the sun came out and I thought, hey! Lose the trousers too. (For those of you who have been in my last sermon series – no… this was not all done on one stage.)
Eventually, the few beautiful moments of sunlight and the fairly constant tepid cloud cover enticed me to fully summerize Vancouver.

So I started the new day. Shorts. T – shirt. Sandals.
And by the end of the day, it is raining, windy…I’m walking home, freezing and I can’t even run with these confounded slippers on!

Today was the first day that I retreated back to long trousers. Shoes. Shirt. Jacket.
I swear the morning was cold. It was all grey. It was raining.
And now that I’m home, I’m peeling my sweaty socks out from sweaty trousers after carrying my jacket everywhere I’ve gone while basking in the hot summer sun…

You’d think I’d learnt a thing or two from living in Melbourne…
