We’ve had temperatures in the 30’s this past little while (that’s Celcius of course) and whew!  Am I melting!

Don’t get me wrong, I love it when it’s hot, and so far I’ve only had one day where it crossed the line into too darn hot, I had a headache, I was cranky, etc. etc. – I think it was 38 degrees that day.  Otherwise it’s just a matter of planning when the fan comes on and strategically eating cold foods or cooking outside.

But one of the great things about this kind of weather is the showers – I have an outdoor shower and it uses one of those solar bags that you hang up and it gets heated up during the day.  If I wait until around 6-ish in the evening then the water is a lovely temperature and it’s actually a bit cooling without being so cold as jumping in the river!  That’s way too cold for me, but my sweetie loves it.  It has to be done around 6-ish though, because today I went in just after 5 and the water was hot!  Almost too hot if you can believe it, but solar heat is the best I suppose.

And, the shower hangs in the middle of this snail-shell structure that Damian and I built so that no stupid trespassing neighbours can catch me in the buff (this almost happened last year), and it also works as a handy dandy place to hang my clothes and towel.

Do I live in the best place or what!?!?
