Advice for British friends coming back (temporarily) to the UK from Australia this week for their graduation ceremony


1) Pack clothes for ANY meteorological eventuality. Shorts, sun cream and those Jesus boots you insist on wearing, plus waterproofs, umbrella and hat would be a good start, and that's just based on the last two days here. It will probably have snowed by the time you arrive on Friday. How else to explain that yesterday I spent three hours weeding, pruning and lounging in the back 'garden', getting a nice rosy tan in shorts and beach shoes, and today I awoke to the aftermath of rain, grey skies all day with not one moment of sun, and since 6pm have had the central heating on? You'll probably end up with 'flu by the time you go back to Sydney.
2) Don't mention Lleyton Hewitt while you're here.
PS. Can't wait to see you again.
