Father Time, You Speed Demon!

It's August. As in right now. Where the heck did the rest of the year go!? To think we're already over halfway through 2010 (and still no flying cars). Soon it will be Autumn (Fall for you yanks) and all the joy that comes with it, namely:

• Colder weather leading to easier sleep and me not melting 24/7.
• My annual challenge of watching to see when the trees turn only for it to suddenly happen, leaving me puzzled.
• The new and returning TV shows in all their fictitious splendour.

I love the Sun as much as the next person, but I hate being too hot. Which is something of an issue seeing as the Sun is a giant flaming orb. Although it's more likely that my thick, curly hair and all-natural, organic insulation is more to blame.
And yes, I try and witness the trees turning to catch them out. Behind my house and in clear view of my bedroom window is a collection of very tall trees and likely very old. So day in day out I glance at them and see the same sight. But whether through lapse in concentration or not, every year they suddenly look completely different. Same game in Winter when the trees strip down and get all naked (ooh la la!). It just...happens. Sneaky, ninja seasons.

I leave you with this little ditty. From those dashing and talented boys of The Cat Empire, a song to give a little lift to our spirits as the Summer draws to a close. Enjoy.
