The Story of Stuff with Annie Leonard

Adelaide, the (literally) melting pot.

Summer ended a couple of weeks back, yet the expected relief with the expected autumn weather never materialized. In fact, quite the opposite happened. The unexpected has occurred with the last 2 weeks being hotter than the summer I've been experiencing so far. Daily peak temperatures hovered between 37-40 degrees with the nights barely offering solace. This is what my room and bed feel like most of the time:








<-- My room










<-- My bed






In fact, this is the first time I can remember in Adelaide that I've been sweating profusely in the house. It is so annoyingly hot that I can't study or sleep for that matter...ok that was an overstatement. I can only sleep after much tossing around on a hot bed or I just knock off if I'm too tired from lack of sleep due to the 1st reason. Add to that the fact that the heat just drains you of your energy just worsens the whole situation.

I so can't wait for the cold weather to arrive. That would probably make me the happiest person on Earth, if just for a minute or so. At least when it's cold you can just put on more clothes to feel comfortably warm. Pity the opposite doesn't work. After all, there's only so much stuff you can take off to cool off. Plus one of the greatest pleasures in life has to be crawling under a nice warm quilt in the heart of winter.
This is one of the rare times that I actually envy the Villagers with their unlimited use of aircon, however damaging it is to the environment.
