Hot Cuppa on a Cold Morning

It was 2 degrees in Perth this morning!

While this is not considered particularly cold in many parts of the world or even in parts of Australia, us Perthites go into a slight shock when faced with these harsh conditions. Give us 40 degrees and we will snub our nose at those who are showing any signs of wilting the dry, unforgiving heat but give us a chilly morning and we will shiver, shake and complain to anyone who will listen as we firmly place our carbon footprint on our slice of paradise with every heater within sneezing distance pumping 24 degree air.

In my snug little part of the world, overlooking the expanse of the Indian Ocean under a clear bright blue sky, I have just prepared a pot of tea for 2 of my gorgeous colleagues - Jen and Angela (and me of course). In about 5 minutes we will sit down and wrap our frosty little fingers around a nice hot brew while sharing plans of what our weekend holds....

...its a hard life.
