Just a general commenty-whiney-GIP thiny

First, I'm astonished that there are no comments on my flist from [livejournal.com profile] sangerin expressing her sheer delight that Serena Williams has been given the Royal Order of the Mitten from the Open. Are you not well, hun?

Second, I am now a Rotarian (well, as of Wednesday, but haven't had the energy to post since then). This is very exciting for me, but may not mean a lot to you. Briefly, Rotary is a service organisation that raises money for charities and other needy groups by all sorts of means (e.g. Saturday and Sunday markets, Art shows, etc.). You can't just join this group, you have to be asked, so I must have hidden my true nature for long enough for them to be sucked in. *veg*

Third, I am looking for somewhere to hide for the next week. This is because I hate and detest Melbourne weather, as these are the high temperatures for the next week:
Saturday (today): 36
Sunday: 41
Monday: 28
Tuesday: 27
Wednesday: 30
Thursday: 32
Friday: 28

*sobs bitterly then throws temper tanty* I want snooo-oooow!

*is very, very jealous, no matter how cold it gets*

An esky is a big (can be small) plastic box that is insulated and you fill it with ice and drinks. Very handy for picnics, BBQs and when the fridge dies (guess which reason we've used it for most recently ;-).

Ah. We just call it a cool box, well, I do, anyway. Is esky short for something?

It was warmer today, just nice to be out in the garden in a fleece and wooly hat and do some tidying up ready for spring. But I'm sure you didn't want to hear that *vbg*

I do sympathise really, I wilt in this country when it's hot, and that tends to be anything over about 22. I can't begin to imagine 41 degrees.

Apparently it's short for eskimo - I didn't know you could store drinks in an eskimo, but you live and learn. *snicker*

And they've given us a new prediction - it will now be 43 degrees. Waaaaah!

Ask a silly question......

Eeeeeeek!!!!! to 43 degrees. I suggest you dig a very deep hole and then get in it.

*lol* Quite!

And you do see the problem with the hole, don't you? I'd have to 1) go outside and 2) dig. As it's already in the mid 30s, I'm afraid I have no plans to do either! Even making the bed seems like too much effort at the moment!

Um, yes, you have a point. How about running a cold bath and getting a supply of books?

Ooh, you do make tempting suggestions! It's only 11am at the moment, but by this afternoon, I may well just do that!
