It was a bit of a warm one today with the temperature rising to 38掳C [Just over 100F for you Americans] and the sun beating down rather mercilessly.
The image below shows a snapshot from the Bureau of Meteorology here in Australia at just after 6pm...It's 37.7 apparently, although the thermometer I have hanging under my pergola says 38.8 - Either way, it's hot AF!
We had chores to do today and were supposed to start early...At 10am I rolled out of bed...Yep, there goes the early start! We had a late night though so a sleep in seemed like the perfect way to start Sunday.
We picked up my trailer from my mother in-laws house and loaded it up with the accumulated stuff that modern households tend to gather these days and went to the dump. Some was set aside for recycling though: An old flat-panel TV, car battery, and some tyres which I had to pay to dispose of. (They were off the trailer from when I put new wheels and tyres on.)
After that we headed to the hardware store to grab electrical stuff for a small job I'm doing here next week and we had a look at a home security system, a camera system that records to DVR, that we are considering getting. All pretty standard Sunday-shores stuff I guess.
All the while we sweltered in the heat of the day and as you can see, even at 6pm in the evening it's still very hot.
We went to the beach later, for a swim. It was really nice as the water was glassy and cool so we just paddled around chatting and hoping we wouldn't get eaten by a shark. So relaxing.
We had a great weekend overall and the fact we spent some of it doing chores didn't worry us. A walk on the beach and a swim at the end of a hot day is always nice too so I declare the weekend to have been a great success.
I'll be flying down to Tasmania, via Melbourne, on Friday this week, to be in Launceston for the weekend to attend my brothers' graduation from university - I'll be there alone as Faith has to work unfortunately. I'm looking forward to it as I haven't seen my brother for a long time but have a week of work to get done first, beginning with the most dreaded day of the week...Monday.
I hope y'all have had a great weekend and managed to get something done no matter if it was chores or simply enjoying life with friends and family. I guess many of you are experienced cold weather, which will only get worse, however you gotta get after life and make the most of it anyway right?
Have a great week y'all.
