so different, yet the same

So rather than read a local newspaper like the Times, or something distinctly London based, I read the Age online. And this morning, an article made me realise that while it's so different, it's still all the same.

I quote for you:

Metro spokeswoman Geraldine Mitchell said the delays were caused by a points failure at Flinders Street station, which was not related to today’s scorching temperature.

The mercury had climbed to 38.6 degrees at 2.45pm, and was forecast to eclipse 40 degrees between 4-5pm, before a cool change this evening.

It's just like being in London.. "London Underground said the delays were caused by signal failures at Baker Street, which were not related to the snow and icey conditions. The mercury shrank to -2 degrees at midday, and was forecast to eclipse -5 degrees"

Hot, broken points. Cold, broken signals. The cosmic ballet continues.

Yea, that's really all I have today. Our New Years Eve is likely to be quiet.
