sunburnt country is about right

[fahye]

*WEEPS*

It's already far too hot for my liking here in Sydney, and this afternoon I'm going home, where it will apparently be 38. FANTASTIC. FAN. TAS. TIC. Once again I face the choice of (a) slathering myself in sunscreen and having my skin break out in oily agony, (b) burning as soon as I spend >5 minutes outside, or (c) wearing clothing that covers my shoulders despite the fact that it's really, really too warm for that.

(Usually I choose (d) Remain Inside With The Air Conditioning, and everyone thinks I'm mad for not taking advantage of the wonderful weather.)

How many years before I can move to England and escape this ridiculous climate?

I suppose it could be worse. Most of inland NSW is on 'extreme' bushfire warning because temperatures are expected to reach 42. Which is about 108 Farenheit.

We could totally pool our resources and escape to England together. I'm sure my books alone would be worth the fare...

*is not impressed with 38 degree weather and no fucking air-conditioning, thanks, dad*

I woke up early so I went for a swim! I am fresh out of the shower, and that's pretty much the extent of my taking advantage of the wonderful weather - aircons for the rest of today (32 already this morning).

You could always pioneer the resurgence of the parasol. Seems a reasonable fashion accessory to catch on this time of year...

You know, I really should've expected that.

I ask myself the same question daily for about 8-9 months out of the year. ;) *fans you*

*Flails* Well, listen to this: I was out in the west, and the car I was in decided we didn't need the air con. We were in agony for a good 45 minutes, and I was having trouble breathing :3
