The Build Up!

Darwin un like the rest of the country only has two seasons.

The Dry - Darwin's winter, the city is busy and it's tourist season.

The Wet - It's summer and it's wet

And then there is THE BUILD UP!!!

That's now until the wet starts.

From September, imagine 90% humidity at 6 a.m. (and that’s the lowest it gets) with no rain relief until the monsoons hit in December/January. It’s like walking around with a 10-ton block of concrete on your shoulders, and even breathing is an effort.

So yesterday I was out for coffee after work and as we sat and watch the world pass by the sky slowly changed from blue and sunny to black... And then the rain came.... and 15 minutes later it was all over. Then again this afternoon the same thing.... The Build Up.

Update!

I know it has been a while since my last post. I have been searching. Searching for a lot of things one being my mind.... What was I thinking when I said "I'm moving to Darwin".... Not much I tell you.

Don't get me wrong, I love it! I'd love it even more if the temp was about 10deg cooler....

It has been a very busy few weeks, I have been house sitting at a house with a pool and spa, it's been very hard getting out of the pool to get to work, but the trooper I am have suffered for the greater good.

This however means I have not been out taking photo's. This weekend I will venture out and about and find something new for you all. (not counting the 200 I took of my unit....)

As my house sitting comes to an end tonight I move into my new (old) ((Very old)) unit tomorrow. Now I know Darwin is a long way from a lot of things, but things just take so long to get done... I have only been waiting a week to get the toilet fixed..... I wont send photo's of my unit, I leave you all in suspense for when you come to visit....

Togs, shorts and a t'shirt is all you will need to visit, don't bother with the jeans or long sleeve shirt for dinners out. You will be over dressed....

Well I am heading back to the pool to soak up the last of house sitting.

Talk soon.
