Without sounding like a whingeing Pom, I’m hot.
Not like that, well, maybe. No. Hot to the blood boiling core.
Summer in Melbourne has been glorious.
Blue skies and sunshine. Open air pools and sea swims. Cool beers and barbies.
(never mind the endless applications of sunscreen and the feel of a sweaty bum – mine I might add)
I love Australian summers.
So why am I craving Autumn?
And rain?
I lovingly stroked a onesie* while out shopping the other day. I imagined myself curled up of the sofa while wearing it and clutching a hot water bottle in one hand and a hot chocolate in the other.
Electric blankets, rainy days watching movies, snuggles under duvets, stews, soups, these are the things I want right now.
Not the rehearsal for the menopause I am currently experiencing, where it feel like my core body temperature doesn’t drop below 40.
I’m sorry summer, but I’m done.
Let the leaves turn, the fruit ripen and the cool change stay.
Because I am desperate for a onesie.
*footed pyjamas (judge away)
Are you craving a seasonal change?
I used to find the melancholy of Autumn quite beautiful. But over the years its association with the descent in to the SADS of winter has been overwhelming to the point that I’ve started to dread it.
Although now that you mention it, I reckon focussing on rainy day snuggles and movies might just be the ticket to re-learning to embrace the season.
But sorry. I just don’t think I can embrace the onesie
I get like that in winter too. Focus on the snuggles…:)
Noooooo! I’m sold, smitten, adapted. This is the life for me. Champagne by the pool; warm, barmy storms; blue skies. I can’t go back! May have to move to the tropics.
I love it too, just craving seasons!
I think we’re all ready for some cooler weather. I love each season but by the end of one def ready for the next one to start. I too want a onesie & flannel sheets & snuggles under the doona
That’s exactly how I feel! Ready for the next season
Certainly not! Turn the air con up high and leave it on all night and snuggle in your onesie.
I need the hot weather, the sun makes us all feel good. Dear God don’t let the winter start too early – happy for some drenching rain that fills tanks and dams and water catchments, but then I want the sun out again. I want swimming after school and salad and chops eaten outside.
I need the sunshine too…just looking for a change
I’m looking forward to Autumn too, I must admit. I hate both extremes, hot or cold. I whinge in Summer, whinge in Winter. Love Autumn or Spring. If it could be in between all year round I’d love it. The weather is so crazy and unpredictable now, though you can get all four seasons in a week, if not a day.
I’m done, summer be gone. Bring on autumn…!
hell yeah!
Oh yes. I was over summer before it began. Bring on autumn!
So ready…
Does your onesie feel any closer, lady?
