This week marks the first anniversary of the Queensland Floods that hit Toowoomba, country towns in the Locker Valley, Ipswich and Brisbane. While we had weeks of rain last summer, this week we are experiencing a heatwave with temperatures scorched to mid-late 30's for afew days.
Normally I can handle summer days with temperatures up to around 32 degrees, but once the temperature gauge hits past our normal body temperature, it becomes unbearable and generally nightime is the hardest time to have a good sleep pattern.
This was the wrong week to have a heatwave as I planned on spring cleaning downstairs. Except for today I basically stayed upstairs in the comfort of my air conditioner in the main living room for quieter times here at my office table.
This evening I thought about going for a swim but I was quite surprise to discovered the pool water was very cold when I added my feet in for 10-15 minutes. The pool is under ground so it might be the reason why the water can stay cold for days after days of hot days. My feet still feel like a block of ice, half an hour or more later.
Haven't barely consume alot of foods this week as it is too hot to eat. But I have lost count on how many litres of cold liquids I consumed through. Hot summer days like this, ice-cream, cold fruit and salads are generally the best thing to consume. While I was out for lunch with a friend today, I consumed a nice club sandwich, freshly made with a filling of green salad and chicken. Don't know what to have for dinner as yet.
How about you? How do you cope with a heatwave over summer?
