Super day, super hot

I've enjoyed today but I did spend most of it in the comfort of air conditioning, occasionally stepping out into the 36 degree scorcher. It was truly was fan bake biking home.

The wind stayed away until late afternoon. Now it's warm and windy. I left the blinds and curtains closed today. It makes a big difference particularly upstairs. Tomorrow we'll drop 15 degrees. That's not such a bad thing.

2 years ago I was packing my bag in preparation to fly to be with Mum as she entered the final days of her life. Tomorrow Dad flies to be with me. For me it feels strange, and I crave a place that isn't littered with tinsel and jarring hackneyed carols, laced with sentimental nods to commercialism.

I'll wind down at work tomorrow, we'll remember Mum on the 24th, and celebrate Christmas together.

It will be alright, it will be sad and happy.
