Aussie summer stinker
Back from the beach this Arv'Yes... Stinking hot!
I forgot to take my camera down to get a beach shot, so five mins in the door, this is my feet.
Jem is slightly burnt of course. Naturally with 3hrs of sunblock. Met Jacksons mum down there. Yapped on the beach, tho, I had a teensy tiny umbrella and felt guilty she couldn't share it. I cannot emphasis how bloody HOT it was. Almost beyond enjoyable, but bearable because the boys had a blast. I had two swims , but the surf was really mucky so spent most of the time swishing my togs under water trying to lodge them back to cover my boobs and bum. J's mum had two other kids as well, all boys, so they whooped it up for ages.. while we spent the time comparing motherly insights.. ho hum... I don't mind, but I also like to chat about other things. She's a pretty nice person tho, no, really nice. I won't say a word against her.
When I got home Jem ran to the shower before me, little bugger! I refuse to go in Mia's shower as its likely infested with spores of mildew grown bacterias. There are at least 23 used shampoo and conditioner bottles and old soaps on the floor of the shower recess and it stinks. So I nagged Jem to be under five minutes or Id get narky and whiny.
My own shower, is perfectly hygenic and clean as a whistle. I emptied half the beach out as I took my swimmers off.... hee!
Was still so bloody humid, put on the aircon which is mainly aimed in the dining, kitchen, family room, and takes a good 20 mins to infiltrate. I run around and close all the hallway doors and curtains, to keep the cool in. Its over an hour later and at last we are feeling the cool and forgot how steamed up we were before.
I cannot live without aircon.
Well, Ok I can live.... but I dont want to live like that if I cant help it.
I have aircon in my home, my car and my place of work. If I can manage it, I only go to aircon shops. So from December to end of Feb, I try and live my life around there places. Isnt always possible, of course. I've spent many a summer in un-airconditioned homes. This place, our little town house, is wonderful... I dont want to move... unless I win lotto.
Last year .. oops, the year previous to that, I lived in a house not only without aircon... but a place which was a heat trap.. no breezes. We had a heat wave that February, and I remember cos it was Jems birthday and my Ma was over from Perth. The temp was up in the 40 degree area and I went up to Woolies and bought bags of ice to put in the spa, (ok it was a spa but pretty small) ... and I put ice in the spa, with cold tap water and kept getting in and out all day. My old mother handled the heat better than me.
I cried on and off, and whined till everyone had enough of me.
my brain fried.
No .. apparently in extreme heat the brain does heat up with the body temperature, which is why headaches , tension, and grumpiness occur. (thats what I told my family, as to excuse me). My kids know I dont handle heat well.
One Xmas I threw a major tantrum about the heat... again, another random aussie heatwave hit christmas day, I was living on the hill then, and we had a pool. But the pool was like a hot bath and the room downstairs was our only reprieve. My eldest son lived in that part of the house, and was a moody adolescent, who BARRED us from venturing into his private Idaho. I insisted we eat Xmas lunch there, as it was a few degrees cooler than upstairs. He said NO! And I was so heated up ... so 'On fire' with the crazy humidity ... I went a little psycho and swore quite alot. And threw things....
My kids still laugh about that day.
hearing mum say 'Fuckin fuckin'
hee!
Spring and Autumn are my favorite seasons. Autumm being No 1. I did a painting about that, will find a pic of it, and post it soon .....
The rest of Wednesday ? I'm on Vacate till monday .. so today Im chillin out.. need some milk at the shop, and will watch Judging Amy , and Bachelor tonite... I know, Bachelor sucks, but Mia insists I watch it with her, as a kind of girl-bonding session.
We have always watched these types of shows together... to bitch about the girls, the guy , the clothes ... fun.
I've never liked any of the Bachelors. They seem like major gaylords to me... this guy who is on now is no different. A living ken doll, who kissess any lips within a 3 mile radius. And gropes... but when some chick does it back to him, without him instigating it, he says
"She's kinda creepy"
This is HIM
all american football star. Jesse Palmer
Okay, okay, at first glance he is kind of good looking. But once you watch him on this show a few times, you realise the he himself ..'is kinda creepy'. A lech really. And by all accounts a player. these shows of course are very lowbrow and really infantile to watch. In fact, a person could be labled a 'loser' just for watching crap like this.
However, I've always maintained that reality TV, (which is really un-reality and very contrived) is a little like junk food. No real nutritional value, empty calories, bad for your health.. but er... kind of fun to sneak.
Having said that .. I hate Big brother, or Popstars... etc... I do like Survivor most of the time.
I find TV anyway is all cops shows, murders, criminals, lawyers and gross sick violence.
So, a pretty spoilt football star taking advantage of a few young wannabe tv stars is No biggie...
Now how did I get onto all that?
oh yeah.. .what Im doing tonite....
