Writing Day At Last

Yay! Geoff is back at work today. I can now spend all day writing, if I want to.

I just finished talking to Maureen [friend at Ararat] on the phone. Only a two-hour phone call this time. Quite short really. I was catching up on the fire situation. Very scary over Halls Gap way. This hot, windy weather doesn’t help either.

Today is supposed to be another 37 degree day. It looks really stormy. I wonder if we’ll get any rain. Probably not.

The workmen are still up on the roof, in the roof, all over the roof... installing our air conditioner. At long last we’ll have cooling for this house. I don’t mind the heat – as you know – but last night wasn’t pleasant. It was 32 inside the house and it didn’t cool off. It will be nice to just turn on the cooling and get a good night’s sleep. I usually don’t have any trouble sleeping in the heat, but last night there wasn’t even a breath of air moving anywhere. The fan was only moving hot air about. Hmmmmm. Must be getting soft in my old age.
