The weather here in Warrnambool is certainly getting chilly.  Each morning Juliette wakes up and asks me, "is it going to be warm or cold today Mummy?" I have told her that for the next three months at least, my answer will be, 'cold'. She needs to know this so she can decide whether to wear a cardigan and tights with her school uniform.  Our winters are reasonably mild in comparison to much of Europe, North America and Canada, for example.  It hasn't snowed in my town since 1981 - and that was apparently a big novelty!
