tropical summer is well underway
it's hot as satan's sweaty ball sacks. and all that heat means storms. kids rugby called off on friday for too much lightning.
it's currently 9am. the "feels like" is already 34. BOM is giving a heatwave warning. fun times. fuck going outside.
……and it’s not even Summer for over a month.
Fuck that. I really don’t know how people cope, I guess you get used to it over time ?
sort of? it still sucks. but air con, a pool, and a house desiged to catch rainforest breezes. But yeah some days you just don't go outside.
I've already told Mrs Mariner that the goal has to be to make enough money so that in retirement we can have a house somewhere southern to do summer.
I think it’s the “year round” factor which would get to me, even mid year it’s still in the 20s insist it ? The other half has family in Hawkes Bay and we’ve had a couple of hot summers there where it’s “officially” late 20s but the garden temperature dial is mid 30s.
Definitely good weather to sit inside with all the doors open and a few Steinlager in front of the cricket.

So a good Wellington summer day then ?
The suns out here but it’s too fucken windy to enjoy the new outdoor furniture. If it gets any hotter I might remove one of my hoodies though….

I'm continually searching for a workplace that is based in both Sydney and Cairns so that I could spend 6 months in Sydney and then 6 months in Cairns. Sadly it appears to be a unicorn.

Fuck working, it would interfere too much with your movie, lunch and coffee engagements.

Sadly I don't have an endless pool of money so eventually I'll have to start working again
... I generally keep the lunch and coffee engagements while working though. -

Get. Fucked.
Yikes.
Was hail in Howard just west of us earlier, but no reports it was that size.
Nasty storm heading our way currently:
Hopefully the Hervey Bay Dome does its job (local name for the weird phenomenon that storms from virtually any direction blow themselves out - or lose all intensity - just before reaching the Bay. It's quite common and quite uncanny.)
Don't like the black shadows in those radar images.
Just the usual spring storms ...

Interesting in the central west of NSW where they'd just been pounded again.

Maude is on the Hay Plain and it's very fucking flat out there. Water has nowhere to go
You lie. There's nothing on the Hay Plain.
There's a metric fuckload of water right now.

good times at moment in the North Island...
