Oh the weather outside is frightful...

Yes it snows in Australia. No I don't drink Foster's, have a kangaroo as a pet or speak like Steve Irwin.

Today it is winter solstice, in other words it's the depths of winter and the shortest day of the year. Being so cold as of late, I have invented a machine. This machine possesses the unique capability of being able to channel the seasons from the northern hemisphere and make them exist in the southern hemisphere simultaneously. To make this machine work, all you need to do is listen to the following tracks on the solstice and I promise you will feel like it is summer. Images of swimming pools, sexy parties, hot pavement, summer romance, cricket matches, windows wound down with wind-blown hair, ice-cream vans and sprinklers will appear before you. Your skin will turn scarlet and the aroma of sunscreen and freshly cut grass baking in the sun will fill your nose.

If you still feel the chills of winter after trying out my fabulous claptraption, I cannot be held responsible. Your house/office/prison cell must have poor heating.
