Summer

My car Knows Things. One of the things it knows is that it was 31 degrees outside when I was driving around yesterday.

You can keep your "meteorology" and your "accepted convention" -- I have two signs that tell me when summer has arrived in Auckland (whichever comes first):

1. When it's the heat keeping me awake at night instead of good old-fashioned insomnia.
2. When I get out of the shower and find that I can't actually get myself completely dry due to the humidity.

Number two happened yesterday morning. Subsequent blog posts will consist solely of me complaining that it's too damn hot, until Thursday when I go to Melbourne for a week. Enjoy.

I said enjoy, damnit!
