Default Ooh, Australia's always sunny and the beaches are beautiful.

I hate this time of year.

Hate it.

Stinking hot weather. Aggressive hot and bothered people. Bushfires, cyclones, irukandji jellyfish, sharks, hot water out of the tap, dead garden, snakes, spiders, sweating stinking people, make up that runs down your face, mosquitoes, whirring fricking fans all night, blasting air conditioners that blow your newspaper across the room, soft chocolate, milk that's off before it's use by date, dustbowl lawns, burning hot steering wheels, going to bed hot and annoyed, waking up and it's still hot before you even get out of bed, people who say "ooh, Australia's always sunny and the beaches are beautiful."

I hate it.

It's the same every year.

Big hug from me.

I am over the sun/heat big time myself this Summer, spend most of my time indoors.

I cant sleep without the fan and I am aware of the whirring of the fan through the night so hence, dont sleep properly.

And on the upside the fit birds wear less.

And on the downside so do the mingers.

I have a very special frock that I like to dwell in during Summer. (At least around the house). It came from a very cheap chain store and I customised it to cut off the belt. It is what one might call disgusting.

When I wear it, I am a minger. In normal circumstances I'm not a minger, but that's another thing about this stupid time of year. I am a whinger and a minger.

I tend to frump it out when I get home, the bra comes off and the twins set free, I wear a vest and a sarong and thats it. I would frighten people if they came round but luckily they dont.

It is cooler tonight in Perth though so that is all good.

Lipstick, bra... must be going out. Just a bra, must be expecting company.

Well, however much I try to suppress it, that IS the image that I'll be thinking about overnight.

"cyclones", "irukandji jellyfish", "dead garden", "dustbowl lawns" in summer every year in your city?
