    Who turned the HOT back on...

    Seriously, it's way to hot to sleep. I love riding in blue skies (no rain), bright sunshine, and a cool crisp breeze. Maybe around 16-18 degrees with a medium humidity. Right now it's way to hot and way to humid. The forecast doesn't look to be improving...AHHHH.

    Oooh no, the hot is good. Hotter and drier would be even better. (Hot and humid is only good for subtropical greenhouses).

    Speaking of greenhouses, mine is getting a bit out of hand - 43 degrees in there the other day.
    Redefining slow since 2006...

    You live in new zealand.

    we have weather.

    when it's cold put more clothes on.

    when it's hot take some clothes of.

    it's a good excuse.

    Ah I forgot that some are on a different heat scale.

    HOT = WARMISH
    TOO HOT = GETTING BETTER
    SO HOT I CAN HARDLY BREATH = SAFE TO COME OUT OF THE GREENHOUSE FOR A WHILE.

    Don't forget to water the plants

    Yup, they are here tonight, still, I'm writing this post in my underwear (is that too much information?) with the fan on full, and I am toooo hot.

    Actually, that's why I like the cold. You can always put on more clothes. Turn on a heater. Grab a blanket. Get snuggly. There is a limit to how cool you can make yourself (especially in an office environment). Or riding a motorbike for that matter. Unless you are really keen and ride without gear, but that's not me.

    I bought a dehumidifier for $10 on TM in the hope that drier air would feel better. It tends to generate a reasonable amount of heat though. Doh. I'd love air-con. Really.

    Nice and sunny down here during the day. Fiordland soaks up all the rain so we never get much to speak of (even though the weather forecast always say we do) and nice sensible night time temperatures all night.

    The locals are right - Invercargill truly is New Zealand's best kept secret.
    In space, no one can smell your fart.

    LOL!

    Ice cream (with hand-whipped cream and hersheys chocolate sauce): check.
    Cold shower: check.
    Fan to maximum: darn, it won't go any higher.

    Time to try sleeping again. :-)

    All good here in mainland. But there was absolute 0kph as-dead-as-a-stone wind.


    If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.

    Yup, the fan is the bizo. Can't sleep without one. Lovely cool breeze all night.
