My latest addiction is to the Instagram app, but more on that in the near future.
With the clock app, I never have to calculate what time it is in Sydney before attempting a Skype call.
(My brain thanks my phone.)
The weather app is also handy.
I never have to pay attention to those weather 'personalities' on the TV again - people with whacky names like Dallas Raines (seriously, I have such a hard time believing he was named that at birth, but apparently he was).
I need never google the forecast again - it's all at my fingertips.
As you can see, we're not doing too badly here. Winter has been mild - this is the coolest it's been in about a month. Blue skies and lots of sun - Seasonal Affective Disorder will not be a problem for me in LA.
However, looking through the many Instagram photos of others, I've realised something that's missing - awesome clouds and temperamental weather can make for great photos.
Not a whole lot of atmospheric wonders happening in these southern Californian skies.
On my weather app, I also have the weather for a couple of other cities. Now and then, I like to know what it's doing in Sydney... because I'm a nerd like that.
Rain, clouds, thunderstorms and sunshine - that sounds about right for a week of summer in Sydney. Even a single day can have all of those.
I miss those thunderstorms, I really do.
But when I want to cheer myself up?
I check out what the weather's doing in London, and remember the numerous winters that I suffered there.
Yeah... I don't miss that.
Ha! And right there is why I don't even necessarily want to visit London. Shudder. Or should I say, shiver?
ReplyDeleteThe winter weather in LA? Ridiculous. I would be loving that sick.
London winters are terrible. If it actually snowed there more than once a year, it'd make it worthwhile, but it doesn't. Summer is lovely, though.
DeleteI don't know if last winter here was colder than normal, or if this time round is milder than normal... but in the last month, I've only needed the heating a handful of times (just first thing in the morning). Yeah, ridiculous!
