You know that summer is almost here when:
* Nanna's Day Lillies come out in flower.
* The lawn needs mowing every week.
* Mangoes are for sale in the shops.
* You start wearing shorts again.
* Bbqs under the back pergola are a necessity to survive the week.
* You have to buy the kids a whole new wardrobe cause nothing fits them anymore.
* You start watching what you eat to prepare for future swim suit wearing.
* Evening thunderstorms start reappearing.
* Television starts to put the big shows on (before the summer hiatus!).
* You put the soft cotton sheets back on the bed.
* The windows stay open - just slightly - at night.
* Cricket returns to television (Yayyyyyy and congrats to Ricky Ponting for his long awaited century).
* Christmas decorations start appearing in the shops.
* You start thinking about holidays!
* You have days that are over 30 degrees!
Nine weeks till Summer holidays! Not that I'm counting!!!! ;)
