19/Aug/2008: Uni study has been all consuming for a while, not that I haven’t been writing bits here and there, but I have to admit to not being as prolific with my writing. That will change in three weeks when I’m free of study, but it gave me a chance to think about the weather. The weather is important. We use it as a setting in writing, and it often sets the tone of our work at some basic level. We have been in serious drought-like conditions for some time until winter finally came, but it is not often we see a symbol for impending snow on the weather maps here.

It kind of makes me feel like I’m back in Canada again. Now if it would only fall below zero, then I’d be convinced. Will keep an eye out on the news for the pictures of snow tipped hills (happens every 5 or so years)
