Sydney weather provides a challenge for the fashion conscious

A gorgeous sunny weekend raised the hopes of the entire population of Sydney as we anticipated the early arrival of Spring. Short skirts found their way out of the wardrobes and overcoats were relegated to the farthest reaches of storage. As I came in to work on the ferry on Monday morning, I was greeted by a common sight - carefree workers jauntily strolling along, shrugging away their winter cares with bright eyes gleaming at the prospects of the sunny days ahead.

Well, that lasted all of 2 hours. About one hour after I had written an email to a large group of friends that extolled the sunniness of the afore-mentioned winter's day, it started to rain. Heavy grey clouds reached across the sky and a weight settled on the whole city. Winter had returned. He had banished his little sister, Spring, and extended its dominance once more over us.

Now where did I put that overcoat?
