Saturday 26 January 2002
It's so early. I couldn't sleep due to
the heat. That and the tiny thoughts that zipped into my head
as soon as I woke which then grew and grew despite trying
to ignore them. So I am sitting here in the still, blue-grey
drinking my coffee thinking I should go for a walk as it's
so much cooler out side and there are pink fluffy clouds and
good smells from last night's incredible storm. It was an
amazing storm - the sort that Melbourne rarely gets. Yesterday
afternoon I was chatting to Pea
and she mentioned how this weather reminded her of Queensland
- of drinking beers on wide pub verandahs in the thick heat.
A few hours later, just like in the tropics, there were sheets
of rain blowing across the street, flashes of lightning and
thunder that made our windows reverberate. Usually this kind
of storm means an accompanying cool change but instead when
we went out to borrow a video it was like walking into an
indoor swimming pool complex, minus the smell of chlorine
of course.
I can hear Big-P coughing - I might go
make him some coffee and ruffle the covers from around him.
We are house hunting today - what better activity can you
think of doing in the middle of the day in 37°c
in an unairconditioned car?
Here's part of an illustration that I finished
yesterday for work. It kind of looks like a loobylu drawing
anyway.
