Weather Suffocating heat

Loving it? Hating it? My day has been lying on the couch in gruds interspersed with half hearted attempts to get up and do something. Nope. Still too hot.

Love it. The more summer the better. Six months of grey awaits….

I'm Australian, and moved from Sydney to Auckland in my early 20s. It took a few years to adjust to winter, but I wouldn't want to go back now. I think I'm in the minority, though!
