When you can go out tonight without a jacket…
When it’s impossible to find a parking spot within 4km of any beach.
When there’s a festival every weekend, it’s too hot to sit in the sun at lunchtime (and slyly tan), summer fashion is on sale (already!), there’s a bushfire or two around, the cliffs between Bondi and Tamarama are packed with sculptures (and people), the un-air-conditioned buses and trains are stinking hot, and you don’t mind going to work sometimes just for the air-con.
When your cat happily hops into it’s carrier bag and purrs as we walk the city streets.
When you see jacaranda blooming.
When the beautiful sound of cicadas fill the air.
There’s nowhere to park in Cronulla!
When the cicadas start up, the flies reappear, the Koel carols throughout the night and the native Christmas Bush starts to rouge up!
BBQs, swimming in pools and beaches, staying indoors 24/7, customers at work mentioning how much they enjoy your shop’s air con, when blow drying/straightening your hair makes you hot and sweaty, crickets and cicadas, sleeping naked, eating ice creams more, when you wish it was Winter again, your game consoles and computers overheat, etc…
Checking the weather and having a week of 27-30 degrees = day at the beach, buying ice cream and having it start to melt as soon as you leave the store, too many flies during the day and mosquito bites at night.
When you’re in Town Hall station and get water sprayed into your face.
When every banker suddenly looks like Agent Smith, sun glasses and suits.
When Tama – Bondi is packed with sculptures and tourists, cafe’s sell icy poles along bondi beach, and nobody bothers even wearing shorts, just swimmers
When its cold and raining… sorry could not help myself but 2011 / 12 “Summer” has been a shocker.
As of this year: you can’t!
