Semi-sentient being

Is there a "mood" hotter than "hot"? Like describing a sweat-drenched grease-spot? Because that's what I am. I'm surprised at the time, it feels like it's midafternoon but it's about dinnertime! Gah! How can I eat, I just want to lick icy-poles.

At least I made a start on repainting my barbie's armour. There is newspaper on the bathroom floor; I figured either there or the laundry was best ventilated. And the laundry was too hot and cluttered. Well, I wanted to be able to get at the icy-poles in the freezer in the laundry...

I am so hot!

It is too hot to do anything!

HOT!

Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if kannaophelia were hotter, considering where she is.

I am dreading tonight. Hot nights are worse than hot days, because one is already drained, and one just CAN"T SLEEP, thus becoming even more tired than one was. I hate that. I'm tired of being tired! Boo! Hiss!

My solution of choice in a situation like this would be: get a friend to come over, make iced drinks, turn on fan, open door, turn on stereo, sit on porch and talk all night. Though this tends to irritate the neighbors, it's more than worth it.

LOL!
Unfortunately my good friends aren't close enough to drop in at no notice.
Instead I just moved the pedistal fan into my room, and took a painkiller so that my foot would have no chance of bugging me. It wasn't too bad, though I do feel drained.

My other alternative is to read all night, but it still doesn't help me to be un-tired of course.

I know how you feel. It's been really hot here, on and off, and my car's aircon broke down a few weeks ago. It'll cost the thick part of $2000 to fix, it's over 12 years old, so I'm looking for another car. Sigh. It sits out in the hot sun all day while I work in a windowless office without aircon and just a small fan, then I drive home with the windows down and feel quite ill by the time I get there.

I have to say sleeping is easier with a big fan in the bedroom, but sometimes the only way to cool down is to have a cool shower or bath.

That said, I still prefer summer over winter. I love the sunshine and miss it terribly when we don't see it for months on end.

Oh ugh. Sounds worse than a bus without aircon, though they're pretty bad, but I always feel less carsick in a bus than in a car.

Hmmmm, so yours is as bad as the UK, is it?
I do prefer spring/autumn myself, because the temperatures are nice and in-between. But I was surprised to realize how much sun we actually do get in Melbourne in winter, because even though it does rain a lot, the clouds also break up a lot.

Here in Auckland, yes, The west coast of NZ gets a high rainfall, and we're on both coasts. Actually, our weather's very changeable like Melbourne's, so some days (like today) we get both rain and sun, often at the same time. Sometimes we get rain for weeks on end though and that thoroughly depresses me. Give me a real winter any day: crisp, cold, and clear.
