Not sure if it is Day 4 or Day 5 of the heatwave... depends on whether you count from >35 or >40...? arrrh sooo tired, interrupted sleep is starting to take its toll. Have been getting up crazy-early (before 6am is crazy for me) and getting to uni before the tram lines buckles and my shoes melt to the asphalt. Then leaving as close to dark as possible, >12hrs at uni.... I guess the difference from when I lived here last is that we'd be just about due for a cool change right now. no relief in sight in the forseeable weather-future - 35-40deg till next Thursday they say. Without the generosity of the neighbour with the pool, I would be insane from complete lack of sleep by now, and would have moved into the cool dark space under my desk at uni. As much as I love my little granny flat it does not withstand the heat at all. My last flat here was an old stone cottage that barely changed in temperature from Winter to Summer; dark as hell but at least it was a different temperature from the outside.
Power-napped at my desk just before and now have weird lines from the edge of the desk, keyboard etc across my chest and face. Nice! Was too tired to care. Despite heat and fatigue I am otherwise enjoying myself. Cooked BBQ again last night, I swear we didn't even need to put the hotplate on. Drinking lots of Coopers (and must remember you can now get 10c/bottle when returned in SA!). Had last weekend off diving, trying to get things finished, but now must get back underwater and clear my head. I want to do a twilight or dawn dive, to avoid the heat, and maybe I will try L's drysuit? hehe stealth ninja diving under the cover of Darkness. So many things to do, so few weekends....
