My New Favourite Show (MNFS) is the horrific, yet strangely amusing and intriguing, Dexter. Is it wrong to like a serial killer? You’re supposed to like the guy, but have this uneasiness constantly lurking while you watch the show over the fact that this is a “bad guy” pitched as a “good guy”.

The long awaited cool change rolled in on Tuesday, the oppressive heatwave finally dissipating having already set the duration record for any Australian capital city above 100°F (37.6°C) for thirteen days straight. Then tonight, as if to celebrate, we were given a stunning sunset; summer’s last hurrah. Soon it will hopefully start to feel like Autumn.
