Typical Melbourne weather

Today is one of those days that Melbourne is famous for; grey and rainy one minute, sunny the next. I'm at home, working on an assortment of assignments. I headed up to Tom Phat for lunch, arriving just before the rain began to pelt down. I was a good place to do some reading; cosy and relaxed, until the lunch crowd started filling up the place, and they put Tom Jones on the stereo. That ain't 'cool', not even in a kitsch way - it's just annoying. Walked home again during a sunny patch, picking up some chocolate from Barkly Square on the way. And now it's raining again. Woah - it just started hailing! Lately, I've been thoroughly enjoying Virginia Astley's From Gardens Where We Feel Secure LP, Nurse With Wound's "Rock and Roll Station", Ricardo Villalobos' "Hireklon", Juana Molina's "Martin Fierro", The Pastels' "Unfair Kind of Fame", Roxy Music's "If There is Something", Art Ensemble of Chicago's "Theme de Yoyo", Pere Ubu's "30 Seconds Over Tokyo", Golden Avatar's "Seers of the Truth", Pearls Before Swine's The Use of Ashes LP, and Kode9 & Daddi Gee's "Sign O the Dub".
