My favourite kind of weather is cold, cold, cold. Do we have what’s called a wet and dry season? The weather is hot and humid, and when it does rain it’s often accompanied by 100% humidity.

The dry season of the year, when it doesn’t rain is still hot but with sometimes less humidity.

The dry season is also the smoky season because it soon as the rain stops bushfires start and for months we have smoke every day. Sometimes it’s bearable and sometimes not. It also gets to be very windy and the wind is hot.

I fancy that I would like to live in Invercargill on the south of the South Island of New Zealand. I rather fancy that I would be cool – something I do not experience here.

I’m retired. But if I wasn’t, I fancy I would like to work during the trucking season on the Fairbanks to Prudhoe Bay Road. It would be nice to be a tracker on the Dalton Highway also known as the ice road.

To be cold and to experience cold temperatures is something I would love and really only ever imagine.
