Sorry Sydney, Melbourne wins today.

Someone pass us a sausage in bread.

Everyone in Melbourne today just seems 27.9% HAPPIER.

Have you noticed?

We have. And it’s not difficult to see why.

It’s October and the sun is shining.

It is currently 21 degrees. Which means LEGS ARE OUT (and shaved). Fake tan has been smeared on.

And…

The weather is only going to get better.

Today, a lovely top of 23 — Sunny. Tomorrow, 28… Sunny. Saturday is THIRTY DEGREES AND SUNNY.

It’s practically a heatwave, friends.

(Yes Sydney, we know your forecast is just as good. But please, give us this one. Usually at this time of the year we’re still covered in hot water bottles and growing out our leg hair for warmth.)

Tomorrow we get a public holiday for a football game.

Where else in the world do you get a public holiday for a FOOTBALL GAME?

(Not in NSW or QLD, that’s for sure.)

And to celebrate said football game, there will be BBQs.

Need we say more?

And did we mention it was going to be sunny?

Melburnians, soak in the vibe. Get your legs out, have a drink and enjoy yourselves. It’s a good time to be alive in Melbourne.
