Here in Australia, being close to to that little red line that cuts the world in half (note to self, go out in a boat and find said line, its real dangit!) it tends to get hot. Now I don't normally do all that well in heat, but I get by, with the aid of Claire the Conditioner and Iced Cream treats. Yet, when I spend the day working in a fairly cool office. Which I am so not totally in and so not totally writing this blog instead of doing work right now. No really, its a quiet time and I got told when it gets really really quiet I can do this, at least that's what a co-worker said.
Anyway...
Sitting in the office, I think "ah, its a little warm." But its not so much that it's a discomfort, the air conditioner (all air conditioners are known as Claire) is on, but with the opening and closing of various doors and the tinkling of bells, cool air quickly escapes off into the big wide world. Where does it go? You could be all sciencey with your facts and knowledge but me, I know the true story.
The cold air wants to be a broadway musical star, how can it strut its stuff on the catwalk when its shoved in a small room or office building? Heck if I was cold air I woulda thrown a blunt object through the window and rode the magic school bus away.
More or less, its not so bad in the office, or even in a house with a mouse. Perhaps you are in a boat, in a moat, or here or there. As long as you aren't standing outside you are good.
I went outside earlier on, to check the letterbox which is in dire need of a new padlock since the current one is old and rusty, hence its name will be Rusty. Rusty is so old and worn the key wont even fit into his elegant hole...hmm maybe rusty should have been a girl, then again who am I to judge Rusty's key antics?
As soon as I went outside I was hit with boiling hot air. Don't ask me how air is boiling, it just is. Air has some percent of water in it, hence it can be boiling! Even the slight breeze had been infected by heats tight strangling grasp. I gave a slight cry, soundless of course, for I didn't want to show any weakness to the heat, I leapt and bounded back towards the safety of the office and shut the door behind me.
The thermometre states that its 37 Degrees Celcius
In summer we are expected to hit high 40's to 50's.
GO on, look up 50 Degreec Celcius in Farenheit, I'd do it but Im too lazy, do it and scream out your amazement at the way I live.
Because we all know that my very existance is amazing.
On a last note, today is Rememberence day. The Eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the Eleventh month.

In !!AUSTRALIA!! Remembrance Day is always observed on 11 November, although the day is not a public holiday. Services are held at 11am at war memorials and schools in suburbs and towns across the country, at which "Last Post" is sounded by a bugler and a one-minute silence is observed. In recent decades, however, Remembrance Day has been partly eclipsed by ANZAC Day (25 April) as the national day of war commemoration.
