This is my last full day in Sydney and – by sheer coincidence – it happens to be Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras! I’m going out later to watch, and may take a few pics, although it seems it’s very likely to rain on the Parade; it’s very overcast this morning, although the temperature is still 24°C.
Talking of the weather, I noticed on social media that yesterday it snowed in Maynooth (and elsewhere in Ireland). The contrast with what I’ve been experiencing in Sydney will be rather extreme:
I was a bit concerned that the snow might cause problems with my return flight and/or onward transport, but I’m told that it was soon washed away by rain.
I’ll only be making a brief stop in Maynooth before travelling to (different) warmer climes, of which more in due course.
