Freezing in Alice Springs

It's just past six o'clock on a wet and windy Saturday afternoon. The sun is still out yet you wouldn't know it. Sitting in my flat I can hear the wind whistling through, under the doors, through windows and anywhere else through which the wind can flow. It's 11 degrees here at the moment and has hovered around there for the the past couple of days. We had a bright and sunny spell a couple of weeks ago and I really thought that spring had arrived. Now, as I'm sitting here wearing two jumpers, it seems like that was just a dream. I've been sitting here listening to the rain and watching it splashing against my window as I try and work on my assignments. My mind keeps wandering onto other things leaving me with a blank page after an hour sitting in front of the computer. I'm blaming the weather.
