relatively cold

since that horrible saturday it's been "cold" here. i've worn long sleeves every day and yesterday i was FREEZING riding into work at 8am with 3 (thin-ish) layers on. my morning co-worker actually put on her winter jacket that she keeps at work while she sat outside watching the children on the verandah (the only outside play area we have until the end of the month or so). i'm sure this cold weather has helped firefighters. the winds also have been southerly since the cool change came in which is good it's stayed in one direction because it helps firefighters etc. keep the fires from spreading (although i think there are still a couple fires not under control).
