It seems that winter is almost over. I like cool weather and I love winter but this winter was warm and I sometimes wore T-shirts. The guests from Japan were surprised that Queensland's winter was very warm. I think this year is an exception, we had a much cooler winter last year.
My husband and I chopped down two trees that were authorised as pest trees and we are keeping them for firewood, but there was not much chance to use them.
I'm disappointed that spring is coming. Usually, people would talk happily when they are talking about spring. Most people like spring, it's a season of flowers. I love flowers but I'm not happy that summer is coming.
My Malaysian friend said that Brisbane is hotter than Kuala Lumpur. I was very surprised to hear that. I simply believed that Kuala Lumpur is hotter than Brisbane because it's located near the equator.

I think most Australians maybe don't know that Tokyo, the capital city of Japan, is hotter than Brisbane. Tokyo is humid and makes us feel hotter. So, Tokyo is the hottest city in those three cities.
Well, if you would like to go to Japan, especially in the Tokyo area, I don't recommend you go there in summer. The other seasons are beautiful but not summer.
If I were rich, I would like to spend half my time in Australia and half in Japan.
