Humid, you dont know humid!


If I don't get a good nights sleep tonight - I'm going to have to kill someone!

The last three days have seen temperatures over 30 degrees, which in itself isn't too bad; but coupled with 70 percent humidity, the result has been unbearable.

The store man at work proudly announces (to anyone who will listen), that he has had his air conditioner on for the last week not stop, enjoying the cool breeze as he slumbers: I think he may be first up against the wall when the revolution comes.

This summer has been unbelievably warm. Usually prior to Christmas, those of us that live in the lower parts of the South Island grind our teeth at the prospect of continual wet weather; weather that seems not to improve until at least mid January if not February. This year however, it has been glorious.

NFG has been enjoying the last week in a balmy Dunedin, and I'm glad that her memories of Dunedin this year will be of warm, albeit windy days. Unfortunately for her, she will soon have to deal with the reality of Auckland, with it's associated rain, heat and humidity; not to mention the traffic or the rushed pace of life. It is a sad life for those of us that opt in for careers and the cash, when we could have it all in Dunedin - except the careers and cash obviously.

Now, where did I park my other Ferrari?
