I am still not over the jet lag and last night I only slept for 3 hours. So this morning the cockatoos were in full force at 6am laughing heartily. This was followed by cicadas going off, which meant it was going to be a scorcher. And that it was, a scorcher at 38 degrees and humid. What else could I do but go to the beach? Big mistake, it was so hot, the sand was hotter than I ever imagined and I only lasted 10 minutes and went back home. During those 10 minutes I watched a couple of lifesavers rescuing swimmers from rips who had their arms raised for help, it was quite impressive to watch the speed of the life guards.

In the afternoon my friend picked me up to visit her parents and we had a nice pesto fettucine and it was good to catch up with them and some other friends on the way back home. It’s going to be just as hot tomorrow, what to do?
