sooooooooooooooo HOT

 
its almost 7pm. with the wind"chill" the temperature is about 45C!!! i've been hiding in the house all day, wetting the dog (and myself) down. i wish we had air conditioning. at least we have a fan that works (but its so hot that unless i spray water on my skin the fan feels like its blowing hot air on me). we were supposed to go to zac's sister's tonite to go swimming in their pool but serveral things made it kind of impossible. first there's power outages all around melbourne (something to do with the fires in the northeast part of the state) so traffic is crazy and trains have an hour delay. zac's mom was gonna come get us but because of the traffic situation that would take her forever. getting a train would be hard because they'd all be packed and we'd wanna take the dog so she doesn't bake at home and its a 25 min walk to the train station....... to many issues. so we're sitting here spraying water, laying infront of the fan, pouring buckets of water over the dog (she's learning to appreciate it) and waiting for the supposed storms that should come thru sometime in the next 24 hrs (its not even supposed to get below 30C tonite-- i'm thinking we might blow up the air mattress and sleep in the backyard cuz the house is about 50C) Posted by Picasa
