I really should go to bed, as I start work again tomorrow. Don't wanna - enjoying the coolth ahead of tomorrow. Still, work does have aircon, it's just the pt trip there and back that's going to be a horror show. Waaaaaaah.

Ted informs me it's breakfast time.

Good luck today everyone 🤞stay safe out there.

Arrived at work. Over 500 emails awaiting my attention (or lack thereof). Pray for me.

Just a PSA that a bunch of library services around Melbourne and Vic are running extended hours today to provide cool spaces for people. I know Mooney Ponds and Hobsons Bay are so assume a lot of them are doing the same.

Few weeks ago was stung by a bee and yesterday bitten by a bullant and I want to share w/ everybody my scientific findings:

EDIT:

It’s a hot one… like seven inches from the midday sun 🏜️

Plants are watered & cooling is on. Pray to the electricity gods no power outages and to the appliance gods no aircon breakdowns. Hopefully you are all staying cool at work or home or elsewhere.

warm out there already

To Catfish. Um, could you please take the suncatcher down temporarily - it's working just a little too well atm.

Really enjoying Arc Raiders, haven't run into any PvP yet. Just chill looting and avoiding evil robots.

Stayed up most of the night intending on enjoying the cool and sleeping through today.

Well, I ended up falling asleep anyway and waking up at 10am. Sigh.

I didn't want to conscious when Melbourne is teleported to the surface of the Sun.

Leaving the gym earlier, there was a ridiculous line (easy 100 people deep) waiting to get into the crowded indoor pools that are part of the complex. Having to wait for people to leave before letting a new group in. The line snaked around outside too, all these people waiting in the heat for crowds and craziness. No thank you.

I don't get sunburned but even I'm feeling a bit hot under the collar.

Aaaaand the warehouse team has hit hot grumpy point. Doesn't help hearing that my partner's work has shut for the day and sent everyone home early. And that the two men in the warehouse with me ate super spicy noodles on a hot day. I went out earlier and stocked up the fridge with zooper doopers, hydralite icy poles and other goodies on the company dime.

At least I can retreat to my office and enjoy the aircon (there is also aircon in the warehouse office, I'm not fully abandoning them).

This article has a link at the end to a SydUni tool for estimating risk for exercising in the heat. Tool seems more than a bit fucky to me, but I am no expert.

I am physically fine (apartment A/C is holding up and I am free to work here all week and not in a fire area) but I'm really jumpy today. I dunno if its just because I am back at work too soon or if I have just lived through too many general disasters + my general climate anxiety. I keep thinking I'm missing something and wanting to check here and the other place and vic emergency. Maybe its just the lack of natural light from closed blinds. Going to put some ambient music on and try to focus....

7 hours until 10pm, when BoM says it will be 23°C.

I'm comprised almost entirely of cold European climate genes, I wasn't built for this 🫠

Hope everyone is keeping cool as much as humanly possible.

Building fire flagged down the road, four trucks responded very, very quickly but it doesn't seem like anything is happening, thank fuck.

I think my brain is melting because I spent an hour scrolling Facebook.
