It's hot outside

It's days like today that I'm glad we installed air conditioning. It's 38 degrees C (that's 100 farenheit) outside and 25 degrees inside.

There appears to be a heatwave right across Australia at the moment and we seem to be getting the worst of it. Fortunately Canberra is a dry place so that evaporative cooling works a treat. And only a few cents a day to run.

I've been in the pool twice already, because every time I go outside I get hot and then I see that lovely, icy cold, blue swimming pool shimmering in the sun. I reckon I should just pretend I'm in Hawaii and wear my swimming gear all day and fall in the water occasionally. If I ask nicely I'm sure Karyn will bring me out a glass of cold champagne.



It just occurred to me that I should drop the temperature of the spa. Who wants to get into a 40 degree spa in Summer? It's been a week or so since I used it, and this hot snap has just hit us - I expect it to continue like this for the next 5 months or so.

I keep forgetting that it's still only Spring.

The dogs seem to be enjoying the heat. Here is Coco lying in the hot sun.

I'm getting tired of not working now. I seem to spend a large slice of every day applying for new contracts. It's actually easier just going to work each day. I've re-written my CV several times now with different perspectives for different types of job. I had an interview yesterday that seemed to go OK, but you never know what the opposition is like.

The contract job market is about to start slowing down for Christmas soon. I hope I've found something by then or I may have to get a job doing babysitting or ironing. Unfortunately Karyn keeps finding me things to do around the house.

Oh well, back to the next job application.

Oh no! The thermometer has just gone up to 26 degrees.

Maybe just one more swim first ...
