Hot and Sunny

...and we've hit 30 degrees.

(That's 86 degrees, for you Fahrenheity folks.)


I am suddenly wearing summer clothes, carrying round a parasol (yes, a parasol), letting the breeze flow through my house's open windows, staying in the shade, and wanting ice-cream.


If this was the height of summer, I'd be fine. But it's only mid-spring. I'm not going to survive February.



ETA: now 32 degrees...

And it's creeping closer and closer to cold here (well, at the moment it's doing that weird hot/cold/hot/cold thing that produces all those lovely tornadoes, but that won't last long). I feel that it is absolutely necessary for me to cross the equator. 86 sounds fabulous to me. Can I crash on your couch?

Well, at least now you have a little evaporative cooler for your bedroom :-)

Indeed you can. I'll provide the vegemite on toast, and the barbecue. :)

Which I am most happy about. :D

Fab. I'll bring loads of Luzianne tea bags to make sweet tea with so that we can keep cool. Also, I make lots of different kinds of pie! We shall dine well.

Today wasn't the big one for me. It was yesterday, with the rain and the heat and the mugginess and the absolute zapping away of any energy I might have had. Stupid weather!

Just before 4pm, it was 31℃ near us and 23℃ in the CBD. Grr. I want a cool change. Now.

I am working nights, so trying to sleep in this kind of weather...so not fun!

And now, it's dropped by 10 degrees, and yesterday I had to switch from shorts, tshirt and barefeet back to jeans, jumper, and socks.
Argh. I do not know how I will survive Summer. A friend told me it's predicted to get up to 50C.
FIFTY.
At that point, all the electricity stations will fail from airconditioner-overload. :-(
(Actually, our power regularly fails in the warmer weather, thanks to dodgy country power supply)

Fifty?!

Ack! How the heck are we supposed to survive that?!

FIFTY.

You. Have Got. To. Be. Joking.

I have no idea. I hate to think what it'll do to all my plants...and in that case, our animals...I think the bunnies would move indoors for a few days!

Nope, she said it, and seemed prety convinced. Of course, I have no idea where she got that number from...

Not happy, Jan... :-(
