Tuesday 13th December - Moreton Bay

I spent Tuesday on Coochiemudlo Island in Moreton Bay, just off the coast of the eastern Brisbane suburbs. It was idyllic, which is how I always generally feel when visiting the small island, regardless of the weather. It has me wondering if our response to, or appreciation of weather (or lack of) is moderated by where we are or where we experience it. Yesterday was brilliant sunshine with heat building quickly in the morning. A light sea breeze on the island and shade under trees made it feel very pleasant; along with the lapping sounds of water, it just didn't feel as hot, humid and uncomfortable as the day before.
