Hot, Hot, Hot

It's bloody hot here. Yesterday, they were calling for 33 degrees. Somehow, it made it up over 40 (Bureau of Meteorology is HOPELESS here!). They even had to invoke the "stadium-under-cover" rule at the Australian Open and suspend play on those courts not under cover.

For myself, it made for a struggle finishing off Portsea ride #2 (3 to go!) as the hot weather is generally accompanied by a strong northerly wind (or more like the hot weather is a result of the northerly). I went for my long run at 5.45am and at 6.10am, I passed a posted temperature of 27 degrees. Fairly comfortable, but wouldn't have wanted to start much later.

It's funny to see how many people are at work today to avoid the heat. Or maybe there are always this many people working weekends ... I'm rarely ever here.
