I suppose including cheese in your meat slice makes sense on a certain level, as it will save you having to put to put two separate slices of stuff in your sandwich. Not entirely sure about the macaroni though.

the last photo in australia
I kept worrying we weren’t making enough noise and that bears would come and get us. Then I remembered that it was alright, there was nothing but the deadly poisonous snakes. And they’re nowhere near so good at climbing trees as the bears.
In Australia now. There are many more gum trees than I remember, and birds! So many birds constantly singing and talking and arguing.
The houses are also much colder, the confectionery sections in supermarkets much larger, and there are less bears.
I’m not sure when the temperatures were last above freezing, but I think it was a couple of weeks ago. Unfortunately there isn’t much snow looming in future forecasts, but at least all the cold will be helping the ice climbs get nice and fat.
But I’m beginning to see what all the Canadians in Melbourne were complaining about. Whether it’s the proper heating over here, the really dry air, or the fact the temperatures don’t seem to jump around so much, I’m finding the cold here easier to deal with than in Melbourne. Of course I might change my mind when it hits -30oC, but by then I can probably get away with whinging about the cold.
I feel sorry for the man in the moon when in the Northern Hemisphere. He’s upside down. Here is a basic diagram illustrating things.
The moon as it is supposed to be (in Australia) with the man in the moon outlined:
The moon as viewed in North America.
I rest my case.
A lot of Northern Hemispherians don’t seem to even realise their moon is the wrong way up. I’m doing what I can to spread the word though.
