    Just a PSA that a bunch of library services around Melbourne and Vic are running extended hours today to provide cool spaces for people. I know Mooney Ponds and Hobsons Bay are so assume a lot of them are doing the same.

          When I was in Egypt last it rained for about 10 mins. The rain evaporated the second it hit the ground.

          That was their rain for the week apparently.

            Pretty sure Rain Dance is usually men. I don’t usually claim because genetics and culture are not the same thing. It’s not unmessy in many ways.

      I just saw that! And Friday is shaping up to be a real danger day too. I convinced (didn’t take much) my whole team to WFH for the rest of the week at least (unless someone needs the A/C). About to go for a quick swim then lock down.

        It’s definitely a mix at my work, people wanting to come in for the Air con (or just free air con) and people who absolutely don’t wanna fuck with PT today

    I really should go to bed, as I start work again tomorrow. Don’t wanna - enjoying the coolth ahead of tomorrow. Still, work does have aircon, it’s just the pt trip there and back that’s going to be a horror show. Waaaaaaah.

        Nope! I get no direct sun either, as my balcony faces the apartment building next door, but there’s no windows on that side of that building. A private balcony, when I can hang out nude and smoke joints #yolo 😂

        They wish they could see me

    Leaving the gym earlier, there was a ridiculous line (easy 100 people deep) waiting to get into the crowded indoor pools that are part of the complex. Having to wait for people to leave before letting a new group in. The line snaked around outside too, all these people waiting in the heat for crowds and craziness. No thank you.

        This is the exact centre I’m talking about. It is bonkers on hot days, but I do enjoy walking right in to the cool gym while looking at the poor sods sweating it out lining up for the pool.
