A/C...hah, I wish.

I am the whirring thing past the corner. I am the darker patch under the bed. I am the tapping on your window; the extra steps on the sidewalk; the voice whispering your name. I am Stalkerbot, and I am watching you.

Hey were you there for that heat wave back at the end of 2012/beginning of 2013 when the air temperature hit 45 and the water was 16?

Always right.

I certainly was champ. Hot water out the cold tap, fun times...

We moved here in 2005 during a drought. 1 day later there was no more drought.
It rained for two weeks straight and we were honestly wondering why we bothered leaving the UK.
I only just stopped wearing thongs n boardies all year round maybe 2 years ago.

Seared forever in my memory is the Adelaide heatwave of 2008 ... 15 days of temperatures above 35*C, with temperatures often hanging around 30*C throughout the night. Our air conditioner broke down on Day 1 of the heatwave of course D:

3 days without power. I nearly died of boredom.

It was also hot... "It was a hot day (over 31 °C or 88 °F) in much of the affected region, and the heat played a role in the initial event that triggered the wider power outage. The high ambient temperature increased energy demand, as people across the region turned on fans and air conditioning. This caused the power lines to sag as higher currents heated the lines."

Wouldn't run the AC and the computer though

So I'm really tired and was recently messing around with my great-grandfather's art supplies and I drew one thing that didn't suck as much as the rest.

I know it's still pretty badly done but eh, what are your thoughts on it? I'm mostly just messing about with the blending abilities of these pencils, since they're pretty soft.
