Forty four degrees Celsius, I think that is a record for Sydney

1 January 2006

It’s almost midnight in Sydney. I think it’s safe to go outside now. Earlier today temperatures hit 44° Celsius. The last time I was in place that hot was Aswan, in Egypt.

44°C. That must be an all-time record for Sydney.

In other news, I’m pleased to report last night’s festivities were indeed festive. Seems quite a party was had at my apartment building too. When I arrived home today someone had ripped a fire extinguisher off the wall and sprayed most the common areas with it.

There’s fine white powder all over the stairs and on the roof top area.

Other than that I spent the day tinkering with disassociated, and slipping cool, cool beverages. Too hot for anything else, trust me. Happy New Year 🙂
