Forget expensive airline travel to foreign climes in the Southern Hemisphere…go there via broadband.
It’s 11.30 am, raining with heavy cloud cover and not exactly what you would describe as daylight. The office lights are on and so would your car headlights be if you were foolish enough to venture from your warm computer. More of this weather and I’ll wish I’d joined a neighbour in the village who cleared off to Australia in mid-November for three months. Sans time, cash and the ability to do so, I’ll do the next best thing and hit the webcams for some sunshine.
