I ... am ... melting

I do not *do* hot weather very well. Oh sure I like nice warm days. I like feeling the sun on my skin. But the scorchers we are having at the moment defies description for me. No energy. No thinking clearly. We don't have an AC here in the house either. Oh I should refrain. We do have an AC, but you have to sit right slap bang underneath it and wear ear muffs because it's so loud. Every year we say "we must do something about that". And every summer rolls around and we haven't. This year it's on the list, not just a verbal thought floating in the air. I can't stand this heat.

It got to 42.8 C here today, that's 109 F in imperial temperatures. Just so not on in my book.

I went and dragged a chair out into the middle of the backyard before and sat in the dark and tried to soak in what little breeze there was. That was fine until I got attacked by mozzies. I just couldn't win!

So this is a quick posting, it's too hot in here.

I had a lovely surprise yesterday. I got a very nice email from Gwen of Scrappy Angel Quilts. She has just had her 2nd anniversary of blogging. I like to stop in on her blog, I think I originally found it because of her beautiful quilting, now she's knitting and I'm admiring that. If she starts digi scrapping, well I'll be in heaven! hahaha Anyway back to Gwen, she has thanked me for my regular reading of her blog and is sending me some of her delicious sock wool that she hand dyes. Wow! Thank you again Gwen. What a lovely thing to do.

So before I go, shall show you a fun page I did recently of my father-in-law. He was trying number one step-son's motorbike on for size. Doesn't he look big bad and mean huh? Big bikie with his shirt and tie on. hahahahahaha Gosh I love my father-in-law, he's such a great sport.

Credits here.

And with that I'm about to go jump into a cold shower, run around in it, jump out and go to bed. And obviously lie there in a puddle of sweat not being able to sleep. Urrrgh.
