All that’s left is a grease spot January 26, 2006
According to this page it was 27.3 degrees at Laverton at 11.05pm (about 10 minutes ago), which is also what the thermometer says the temperature outside the study window is. The temperature inside the study is 27.5. It got to 41.1 here today.
Generally, in an effort not to fuck the world up any more than we have to, we turn the aircon off as soon as the temperature outside appears to be dropping. We did that tonight when it started to rain and it was a bad, bad idea. We’ve turned it back on but it’s not making much of an impression yet.
I’m sure it’s just old age, but I really don’t remember the hot weather being this bad when I was younger. Sure, we got very hot days, but I don’t recall them being this unpleasant. It probably is just old age.
Well now it’s time to go and make a sweaty imprint on my mattress. Ugh!
I recently heard that 2005 was officially the hottest year globally since we started recording that sort of thing over 100 years ago.
