it's time to talk about the heat

tropical heat wave... without the tropical partOkay, I've officially reached the point where it's just too hot to even bother having a coherent thought process...

I'm just very grateful that I'm working at present, so at least it means I get to spend the day in the cool.

I'm also grateful for Beast, firstly because he doesn't wheeze in the heat like my old computer and partly because I can happily sit in the lounge room where it's at least a few degrees cooler. Of course, the fact that there is this heat emanating from the front of the case where I'd usually put my hands isn't ideal...

And of course, because the Weather Bureau just occasionally guesses about stuff, the cool change isn't coming in until Sunday instead of Saturday as they were previously forecasting.

The fact that it's going to be 39°C on Friday when we're having drinks after work is a little in the good column and a little in the bad column... drinks are good... walking to the pub after work could be less so (I'm assuming the pub has air-conditioning... and if anybody tries to make a case for sitting outside in the beer garden they will be told to roll it up and insert it).

Now, if you'll excuse me I think I need to go and soak my head and then sit somewhere other than in my little red bucket chair since it seems to be conspiring with my ass to become some sort of geothermal heat production facility...

Here in Germany the wheather is cold and rainy... On the way to the office in the morning I'm deeply covered in my scarf and I wish I had wipers for my glasses... these days I would really love to change with you...
