I found myself wondering today why, after over 200 years of European presence here, we're still using so many European methods. We seem to forget that this country gets very, very hot. We use so many dark colours, we use so much water and recover so little, we don't make use of natural air flow, we dress in suits and ties, and we don't seem to expect the fires that the bush needs. We're pretty much living in a desert, using methods developed in one of the soggiest corners of the earth. I just don't think we've adapted to it very well!
P.S. For some reason I really enjoyed the south-west Sydney heat today. It's dry heat, not sticky. Nice.
P.P.S. I totally smurfed my MR knowledge test today, praise God! Next step: Induction!
