冷冷的天

June is the first month of winter and Melbourne's winter weather is a little unpredictable. The temperature ranges from 3 deg C to 15 deg C, very cold in the mornings and nights and not too cold during the day unless we get wind and showers ..... and I often feel like snacking in between meals .....
