This is basically how I’m keeping cool right now.

It was 38C today. Tomorrow is 40C. The rest of the week is pretty much the same, with Saturday being 42C (you don’t know how glad I am to be flying out that day!). I’m over at J’s house, which he does not have air conditioning.. So it is so easy for me to go home and enjoy my glorious air conditioner.

We used to religiously use this air cooler when I was younger. I remember just sitting in front of it on hot summer nights. It takes water and ice, so I used to always fill up the ice tank and try to melt them so it would be colder. My parents let J have this air cooler now, since he only uses one fan for his atrociously hot room. Yesterday, in my mum’s own words, she said, “wow, 42 degrees! We’re going to die! Oh my god!”

I wish i could swim in the ice in the cooler.

I’m really hoping Melbourne’s weather next week is going to stay like this! Wet weather is going to suck, but so is really hot weather! 

The weather has been pretty cray cray lately. It’s summer, so we’re getting the typical high 30C weather, but we’ve been getting rain as well. So last night, there was an erratic lightning show, which I was watching out the window on my bed. 

I wish I had a good lens to capture the bolts but this one is the best I could come up with, with the bolts every 5-10 lightning flashes (really annoying!). My camera focused on the window instead, hence the bolt being blurry… grrrr!

Thankfully, I managed to sleep through the thunder this morning. :)
