Fried brains
Jan. 17th, 2024 12:16 am13, 14 and 16 January were all over 40^C so I haven't been doing very much and even less that required leaving the air-conditioning. Good thing I'm on leave as I don't think a boss would go for that. The high temperatures varied a lot across Perth and the official gauge recorded "only" a 38, I think it was, whereas where I am reached 42.7^C. There was even a storm in the eastern hills, creating flash flooding and some damage by the look of it but here, not a drop.
I got a massage yesterday at the local shopping centre so that's helped ease the muscles up a lot. They're expensive for something that counts as an optional expense so I generally only get one maybe once or twice a year. Tomorrow, well, it's past midnight, the temperature's supposed to only reach the mid 30s, I think, so I am heading over to Bunnings [DIY superstore and garden centre], about three kilometres by bike. I was going to go today, but today got cancelled for lack of interest in remaining conscious. I even watched Netflix during the day [German thriller Liebe Kind and then Black Mirror], which I rarely do, after getting up very early to do some watering outside, and then crashing asleep again. So goes the long service leave I am currently appreciating.
As I said before, this heat has to break sometime and then I will get out and do something! I really do feel like some gaming now, but I don't think it will happen. Our latest plague victim is still sick and that means his wife won't be coming gaming either. At the best it'll be three of us playing Lord of the Fries but even that will be good if it happens.
