Feelin Hot Hot Hot

You know it's summer when:

• It gets "down" to 38 degrees overnight
• It's so hot your shampoo seems to be melted
• The butter is soft the moment you take it from the fridge
• The water from the cold tap is hotter than the water from the hot tap

Yep, summer is here. Yesterday the powers that be declared it our 3rd hottest day in history, peaking at 45.7 about 3:30 yesterday afternoon. But folks, let me tell you, a couple of the temperature displays around town said 48 as late as 6:30pm, and my own car reading was 50.

So, it's officially hot. Bloody hot. The airconditioning is struggling to bring the temperature down any, and I can almost guarantee if I had a thermometer inside, it would still be reading high 30s.

And it's not going to stop until next week. And it's so dry, that your body can't sweat. Oh, you sweat overnight, but the fan doesn't even seem to touch that enough to cool you. But you don't sweat outside, it's too dry.

So, people, stay cool, drink plenty, and dream of that long, cold Adelaide winter we used to have....
