Still hot!

In the interest of hospital staff morale (and as another excuse to drink wine), several of us met at Kings Lake last Sunday to drink wine enjoy the winter sunshine. It was a glorious day that warranted a pair of shorts and yet, if there is something I have learned during my short time in TP it's that Pilbara people are highly allergic to temperatures below 25 degrees. Anything less than "blisteringly hot" induces what I can only assume is a disgusting rash on the arms and legs of the Pilbara population which they feel obliged to cover with long sleeves and trousers.
Since my arrival in TP I have been routinely ridiculed for booking a camping holiday to Exmouth in winter; as a veteran of years of Welsh Whitsun camping holidays I quietly sneer at these sissies. Currently the the daytime temps in Exmouth are between 23 and 27 degrees...noice. Exmouth is a mere 3 weeks away and we are all beside ourselves with excitement! It will be awesome to be under canvas again, thrilling to explore the Ningaloo Reef, brilliant to be beside the sea, and bestest to hang out with Adam and Janine (...can't wait guys!!!). The mornings and evenings will be cool but nothing that some decent coffee and a few glasses of wine won't fix and the days will find us all in our bathers.
I digress...on Sunday us Jonkers bared our limbs and it was wonderful!
