And when that day arrives, you can bet your life that your socials will be filled with photos of your favourite Sydneysiders ‘rugging up’ for the commute to work on a brutally cold … 14C … morning.
Autumn weather histrionics aside, it’s been a busy weekend in SSG Land. Larry the class ‘pet’ has come to stay with us and he’s been treated to a real world kind of weekend featuring such highlights as a trolley ride at the supermarket.
Here’s Larry working the self check out on my behalf. Hands up who else is a fan of 70% Dark Lindor Balls?
Master SSG ice skated for the first time in his life today and I was more terrified than he.
Thanks to these penguins, he was running across the ice within 15 minutes. He did fall a few times but none of that deterred him. He just picked himself up and kept on keeping on.
But do you know what the most #sosydney thing is when the cold starts to bite in autumn? The panic buying at Uniqlo. I was there today to find a few things for Master SSG and the whole of Sydney seemed to be in the same predicament. The queue for the registers snaked through a good third of the Pitt Street Mall store. People were lining up with armloads of puffer jackets that they could barely see over. The space that remained was crammed full of other people desperately guestimating sizes on the backs of children and partners.
Did you pay your respects at Uniqlo today?
