hot and bothered...

today was the hottest march day in sydney for 21 years and about half a degree off being the hottest march day ever... 40C/104F at it's peak and it is still 36C/97F at nearly 10pm. there is no breeze at all which makes it uglier. it is supposed to drop to 19C/66F overnight with temps of 23C/73F tomorrow - back to something more humanly bearable. the man on the weather channel has just said that the cool change is on its way - it can't get here soon enough!!! (all temperature conversions come from here)



i'm going to spend my christmas kris kringle voucher on the way to work tomorrow and buy a siamese fighting fish. a story that goes something like this - miss shell has a siamese fighting fishy (called nemo) on her desk and i keep talking to it and saying i want to get one. shell drew my name in the kris kringle last year, so to make sure i finally bought the fish i keep talking about, she gave me a voucher for the pet store where she had bought hers. i will have to make sure i get a gorgeous one and it might just have to be purple. whatever, i'm sure the one i'm meant to have will attract my attention. the hard part will conjuring up with the right name... all suggestions welcome (that's suggestions for an appropriate fishy name, not lewd or crude suggestions of any other nature!!!)

i'm off to try and get some sleep - i hope that cool change comes in soon... good night!!
