Sleepless in Sydney

When you get home at 9pm or thereabouts and it is still 30 degrees you know you're in for a hot night.
It was the same yesterday. I had to resort to using a relaxation tape to get me to doze off when I couldn't get comfortable. Everyone complains about the weather, probably more than anything else, yet it is one thing we have no control over.
At the moment it's a heatwave but a few days ago we were obsessing over the coldest December in a while or something to that effect.. Where had summer gone? Now it's too hot!
I haven't exactly had sleepless nights, it just takes a while to count enough sheep to get the job done. Feels a bit like it though when you wake up after just six hours when eight would be much better. The predictions are that we're getting a 10 or so degree drop in temperature tomorrow so things should be more pleasant.
It was a fairly standard day today. Watched the cricket after work for a while and it was very intriguing for the fifth day of a test match but also satisfying to see Australia scape home to beat South Africa for what will really only be a consolation win. I went out to the club for dinner with some mates then watched an episode of Chuck before getting ready for bed.
So I sit here in my shorts ready to hit the sack. Sounds like a good idea.

Sound like how it feels when you wake up inside a tent. Sorry man. Do you not have air conditioning?
