Sydney finally hit 30°C today, for the first time since 20 February last year. It’s been a very unusually cool year, but we finally seem to be getting some decent warm weather, albeit already halfway through summer.
I braved the heat to take Scully out for a lunch walk and get some fish & chips. She was completely pooped by the time we got home! I put ice cubes in her water bowl and she lapped it up greedily.
Tonight we’re having a storm front move through, which will cool things down considerably for tomorrow.
I don’t have too much else to report today. I made a Darths & Droids comic, and taught three ethics classes tonight. Oh, that’s right – I spent time making some extra slides to present to the kids during the class, to explain the differences between user-pays and socialised health care, which I was having some trouble getting across to the kids verbally yesterday. I think they helped a lot.

Here (right here in my neighborhood) we’ve had an unusually warm winter.
Of course, go a one-day drive away and you’re in Buffalo, New York, which had the worst snow disaster in its long history of lake-effect snow. Meanwhile on the opposite coast, California is competing with your area quite recently, David, in having enormous, unbearable amounts of precipitation.
Consistency: not the hallmark of weather.
