It's getting hot in here
so take off all your clothes

Hot. I hate Melbourne when the temperature gets above 30°C, as it did today, and as it will tomorrow. I don't function very well under those conditions. My feet swell, well, yes, you didn't need to know that. I get headaches from the heat. I lose my appetite. I get cranky. I do everything ten times slower because everything takes a lot more effort. I positively wilt.

Hot. Very hot. It's disgusting.

I'm dreading February a little. The temperature sometimes hits 40°C then and that is positively unbearable for me. I go on my final rounds then (before my internship in July), in February. I'm not sure how I would cope. Teaching is already an exhausting job under 'normal' conditions - you're on the go all the time, always on your toes. If I have to deal with extreme temperatures too ... Let's just say, I think Panadols might be my new best friend then.

One thing though, about the warm weather. It brought all the fillies out to play at Flemington Racecourse. The train was a sea of hats this morning.

I'm going to bed with a block of ice on my forehead.
