It's cold this time of the year in Canberra. People inhabiting Northern Hemisphere countries up towards Greenland, Iceland, Siberia and Alaska know a different sort of cold. They know extreme cold. Here it is cold.

Toes are cold, fingers are cold and the ice and frost on the car takes ages to get off, if you use water that freezes over as you motor on down the road.

Fortunately unlike northern climes the sun comes out and after 11am it is very nice to be out in the sun. Sadly, of course, that means no cloud, no cloud means no rain, no rain remains a huge worry. Drought is bad.

I have decided after visiting many blogs that the latest reincarnation of the one hand clapping zoan is comments (0)

well its been almost 12 months since i last did an online quiz so here I go:

You are Augustine! You love to study tough issues and don't mind it if you lose sleep over them. Everyone loves you and wants to talk to you and hear your views, you even get things like "nice debating with you." Yep, you are super smart, even if you are still trying to figure it all out. You're also very honest, something people admire, even when you do stupid things.

What theologian are you?
