strange affliction wash over me
Jan. 26th, 2007 10:31 pmit's so warm that the butter i was dicing started to melt as i put it in the bowl.
i can see lightning in the distance, but there's no chance of rain. it's hot, and it's sticky, and at 20:00 it was still 38C. that's 100F for those of you who don't speak celcius. it hasn't cooled down at all, and it's disgusting.
the forecast for tomorrow is 41; very hot; windy. we've got a long shoot tomorrow at archery in the hottest part of the day, and i fear that i, like my butter, will melt even in the shade.
it's australia day today. it's ostensibly about the colonisation of australia: declaring it terra nullus and claiming it for hrh. there are fireworks and bbqs and the hottest 100, and a newly developed culture of the flag, and everyone ignores the history as it actually occured, when i wish we would acknowledge it and move through. i love being australian, but if i have to celebrate being australian i'll do it in my own way.

something's on fire, Z said; my heart leaped into my mouth and i felt sick in my stomach. it's not in our house, it's outside, but it's so dry right now, i can't bear to think what might happen.
