sydney is basking in the hottest day ever, it's actually impossible to bask as it's so hot it just feels horrible, like everything is slowly melting. i was awake at 0600 and already the cicadas were making a cacophony outside. every minite the temperature just increased by a degree until it stuck at 48 degrees.
it was very unpleasant.
i drove into the city and most kitchens were shut, the streets where empty although there were lots of cars on the freeway, air conditioning is king. cinemas were packed, supermarkets and shopping malls spilling over with people just needed to keep it cool. 
it's now 2230 and it's still stinking hot.
i suck down ice cubes in my sarong, while i smoke a big spliff and contemplate sleeping in this sticky atmosphere. in the distance, thunder.
