Having completely forgotten just how frosty it gets this time of year, this cold snap has left many Aussie’s tightly gripping their cardigans and letting out a series of expletives, or whacking their partners for yet again hogging the covers.
For the nation’s dads, this drop in temperature has elicited a similar response from every single one of them, usually with some inference to the true culprit behind the discomfort faced by anyone who dares venture outside – which The Advocate quickly learns, by stopping to chat with any middle aged man wearing steel capped boots.
Tim Graw, a fifty four year old carpenter who’s still somehow wearing a pair of ball hugging stubbies, confirms that “the fucking westerlies are back on.”
“It’s not the cold that gets you though, it’s the wind”, he adds with a wise nod, “got some bite to it, that’s for sure.”
Another bloke, fifty four year old windscreen fitter, Neil Kemp (wearing an appropriate pair of jeans covered in grease), agrees that “it’s a bit nippy.”
“Yeah rug up, cold as a mother in law’s kiss out there.”
More to come.
