SUNBURN

Half an hour in direct sunshine (the rest of the day under portable shade in the form of a parasol) and my arms are bright red.

The Aussie sun is not kind.




Went along the Eastlink freeway yesterday, for the second time since it opened. Wasn't driving, so I had the chance to look at the weird, weird scenery.

Like this:

Term I never realised was exclusively Australian:

"morning tea"


Apparently it's only ever heard of in Australia and New Zealand. (Along with "afternoon tea".)

But seriously? The Brits jolly well invented the morning tea break - do they really not use the term? *is baffled*


(For those who are sadly unfamiliar with our wonderful vernacular: morning tea involves snacks of some kind, eaten at about 10am. It doesn't necessarily involve cups of tea.)
