#sydney in case you wonder where all that #heatwave is coming from :welp:

Good morning Fedi friends. Last night started as it has every other night since the previous Sunday, going to bed with the house still shut up & the aircon & fan on. Really restless sleeping, until about 3.30am & I’m woken by the sound of rain. I got up & checked outside & oh my goodness - it is cool. Aircon goes off, windows are all opened, my sliding glass door is opened & I go back to bed & sleep until after 7am. It was 21c when I got up & we’re heading to a bearable 32c & it’s softly raining outside - big, big sigh from me. My unit still is feeling quite warm & will for a while as the heat is in the bricks, but it will dissipate soon enough. At the moment I still have a one ceiling fan going but it’s so lovely to have the place all opened up & know it’ll be that way for a few days at least.
It’s a bit late to do any exercise class this morning before I visit my sister, but I do plan on doing some gentle flexibility stretching later today when I’m back home again.
I’m going to enjoy this cooler weather.
Wishing you all a lovely #Sunday, hope you all also get heat relief, stay cool & stay safe out there 🌻. #Weather #AussieSummer #HeatWave #CoolChange

@Goimbla yes indeed. Yesterday this tree dropped one in my street in #PortNoarlunga #heatwave

Good morning Fedi friends. Well that was one warm night & one more hot day & night to go. It was 26c when I woke up just after 6am, opened up & turned off the aircon. It won’t be off for too long though as at 9am now it’s already hit 31c & will reach 43c as its last hurrah. So I’ll be shutting up again shortly & probably have the aircon fan on for a little while before I need it on cooling. I have my washing out & that won’t take long to dry & will do all my towels for the same reason after I’m showered & ready for my day.
I’ve found out what those little birds are that have been flitting around my garden at dawn. They’re New Holland Honeyeaters & very cute. There seems to be an awful lot of them around here atm.
Not going anywhere today, nor doing very much at all except for some general housework but that’s it for today really.
Have a great #Saturday everyone hope you all have a cool & safe day 🌻. #Weather #AussieSummer #Heatwave #AussieBirds #Garden
