FOURTY THREE DEGREES!

Today is the second day into Melbourne's 3-day high of 43 (109 F) degrees. I don't ever recall being in weather this hot, ever. To share with my readers as to how I'm feeling at the moment I thought I would create a list, so, here goes...

You know it's hot when:

• your leather bag strap makes your shoulder sweat
• you're in awe of the fact that you EVER wore jeans
• you're not sure if it's hotter outside or inside your apartment
• you have to sleep with a wet towel because cotton sheets are WAY too warm
• the cat starts sleeping on the floor
• most of the commuter train lines are cancelled because the tracks are buckling
  
• the beach is packed at 9:30pm
• you sweat standing still
• having a cold shower is the only way to cool off at home
• Bunnings (Home Depot) sells out of fans and air conditioners
  
• wearing pants becomes an issue

I've been lucky in that my (air-conditioned) train has yet to be cancelled [knock on wood!] but if it does happen tomorrow my only option is an hour on a non-air-conditioned tram or driving to work in a non-air-conditioned car.

One more sleep until day three; I'm soaked just writing this. Wish me luck!
