Obviously July and August take their names from two legendary caesars of ancient Rome. I've always appreciated the power an individual man must have had for the whole western world to keep his name on the calendars two millennia later. What I didn't truly get was that not only did they both get months named after them, but they got the months of idyllic sunshine and long, pleasant evenings and lifting up togas to let your toes sink into the coarse sand of the Mediterranean shore... Basically the month with weather the exact opposite of what Adelaide experienced today!

On the other hand, I bet neither caesar got to experience the warmth of wearing their tracksuit over their pyjama pants for an entire day.
