baked and fried

40+ºC is not my type of weather.

All I want to do is sleep feverishly in a darkened room with the fan going, sadly not 'trying' to work in the studio.

On Sunday I roadtripped (if you can call it that, with Eastlink its damnably quick to get out that way) with the hml crew out to Yarra Glen. We visited Yering Station Winery and picnicked in a park. I got sunburnt (badly) on the only bit uncovered or unsunscreened- the nape of my neck- ouch! Sunburn just always puts me in a very sore state of mind, let alone, my poor lily white skin.

I am trying to get work done but it's so hard in January. You feel the panic of needing to get the year off to a good start and the bone weariness of just wanting to do bugger all. Have I written this before? Probably- you see, the hot weather just fries my brain.

Well it's Obamafest tonight/early morning and I just love that Ikea has put together a re-vamped Oval Office. I have this mental image of Barry and Michelle down on their hands and knees trying to get the coffee table stable and wondering why there is a screw left over.
