Perth in summer is hot. In fact very hot. During my three weeks back in England I have been told that the temperature rarely dropped below 35 degrees. And when it did it was replaced by humidity that threatened even the strongest and fittest. When I woke this morning there was a difference to the air, in fact a much wetter difference to the air...it was raining.

But people are so funny....instead of enjoying the gift from the heavens, people were scurrying around looking for shelter...anyone would think it hurt to get wet.

I'm not sure how much of this liquid gold we are going to get, but you can almost guarantee these same people who were trying to hide from the falling water will be moaning about the heat in a couple of days. After my trip to England I vowed never to moan about the weather anywhere again. We landed in a sand storm in Dubai and experienced wind chill that cut through to the marrow of my bones during my wander through the English countryside. Extremes of temperature and natural phenomena that you have to experience to understand.

The philosophy of life that I adopted throughout my time away I am now applying to all areas of my life. And that is

Everything in life is an adventure - if you want it to be, and are willing to look at life as such.
