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 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?!

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!

FIFTY.

You. Have Got. To. Be. Joking.

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

Not happy, Jan... :-(
