Melted ...

[blamebrampton]

It is 27 degrees Celcius (just over 80F) and nearly midnight. It has been like this all week. Everyone in Sydney has taken to apologising at the start of every sentence because we are too melty to brain. It's at least bonding us all together in thickitude.

Which is also my excuse for forgetting to with the lovely morien_san  a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY for yesterday. However I am just in time here to pass on the same wishes for today to 1strangebird  -- I hope this year is working out as you wanted it to. Here's to lovely days for the both of you, including visits from the present fairy!

I received a parcel from calanthe_fics  today for my own Festival of Birthday -- gorgeous knits and Moomins! She knows me so well! I'm so privileged in my friends!

At midnight? HOW HORRIBLE! I can cope with the days creeping up to and around 36-38, but I need cooling evenings!

I missed the midnight part, but sure--stuck in the 90s through the night is pretty much a sure thing for a week at least once a year. Over 85 is common. I'd say we get down to 80 half the time.

We do get breaks though--daytime highs no more than 80 and nighttime lows in the low 70s. Just enough hope to keep us alive. :)

Bleagh. I know that horror well. It's not so uncommon to have a week with several 85-100 days in a row here, but there will usually be a few cool nights and one or two breaks in the run through the days so that everyone can cool down a little. Not this time.

I've even sanctioned Mr Brammers running the aircon for long periods of time, and have slightly wished it was through the whole house, not just a portable in the study. Given how much I hate using that much power, it's testimony to my desperation for a break from sweating!
