lirion

Staring out the window at work I could bw forgiven for thinking I'd for some reason come in stupidly early, in the middle of Winter. It's that black out there. So black indeed that my eyes are reacting to the contrast of the brightness of the fluroescent lights against the backdrop.

And the thunder keeps cracking like some oversized cattleman with his stockwhip, right overhead, rolling out at a gallop, driving the wind before it, as suddenly everythign strobes into relief so stark it leaves you blinking while the lighting flares and then fades.

oddly, now that it's actually started to our, the light is coming abck, creeping forward to an ordinary Melbourne soggy day, and that slightly surreal feeling fades, thre's no longer fairytales in the shadows, only the occasional lightning, barely remarkable against the light sky, to remember the mood by.

I know this because I tried the sleep thing and woke up twice in the space of less than 2 hours, too hot and sweaty both times. My fan has ceased to be effective, because the air is jsut too hot, even with me getting home and opening things up to let the coolness in. But it'slike the wall of heat in my flat is a grumpy bouncer who's decided the cool air is providing fake id for all of it that actually ends up inside here.

And somehow, no matter how much of a breeze there is during the day, either that's only in the city or it's well timed to suddenly die as I ge thome to air my house.

Today at work is going to really hurt - more so than the last and they've been pretty bad - if I don't manage some more sleep. And the cold water saked tshirt, while still useful, is less effective in the sticky heat.

I request bringing back last week please. At least then the heat was dry.

I wonder if the body corporate would object to me screening in ym entire balcony so that I could at least keep the mozzies and other assorted creepy crawlies out and sleep out there. Actually, this being my body corp, they'd object more to the 'unsightliness' of someone sleeping out there I think, *rolls eyes*

Relative humidity: 85% *shudder* I say again, if I wanted to live in Sydney or Brisbane then i would, sneding this weather is not an enticement, please stop.
