When it gets to about this time each year, I suddenly realise how unprepared I am for the cold weather.
In Queensland, it’s cold for such a short time that we kind of forget what being cold is like, I think.
Then, an invitation arrives in the mail, or a message comes through from a girlfriend to catch up at night time and I suddenly don’t know how to keep warm when I also want to be dressed up. All of my jackets seem not warm enough for night time, or are too casual to throw on the top of a dress or a top and jeans combo.
