"winter" weather

i decided today that i can't complain about melbourne winter weather (at least not to canadians, but to sydney-siders or queenslanders i can get away with it-- they feel sorry for us down here and most wonder why anyone would live in melbourne). winter started june 1 but its been clear blue sky most days and no rain (although we definitely need it cuz we're in the middle of a bad drought). the autumn leaves have just started changing colours and falling (they're a bit behind cuz autumn was so warm). we sat at an outdoor cafe on sunday morning (yes, me and zac we're both actually up in the am hrs but only cuz zac had to work at 1pm). it was weird to think it was supposed to be winter but we could sit outside by the creek drinking coffee and just wear longsleeve tshirts. today i came home for lunch today and ate in the backyard in a tank top it was so nice. i just heard on the radio that its supposed to be up to 21C again tomorrow. melbourne is generally known for its "cold" winters and 4 seasons in one day but it's definitely not winter compared to canada (or even the mountains of southern california).
