Not sure why I waited until 10 days before I fly out of the country to do a bunch of online orders but THE RACE IS ON! It makes shopping more exciting! I'm pretty optimistic.
Got some new shorts + a TMNT t-shirt coming in one order. A new pair of Ray-Bans to replace my existing ones which have had a very good long life and travelled halfway around the world with me. This order is apparently coming from Adelaide (bought online from Myer) so that's fun. A new mattress topper from Catch and I'm considering buying a replacement for my 'holiday' cologne (Davidoff Adventure) because it's just about empty. I like to have a distinct scent for things like holidays, it helps to trigger memories and makes me feel more like I'm on holiday. Which reminds me I need to make sure I pack my coconut scented hardcore sunscreen. Gon' be HOT.
How do people even survive / function in that heat..
Perth people chuckling in a corner
Perth people are different for a reason...
Many moons ago I visited one side of my fam in Perenjori (350km NE of perth) in summer. When we rocked up my uncle was hugging a tree (literally) waiting for us at the front gate. On that day I learnt trees are colder than ambient and that he wasn't completely mad.
Those temps are no joke. Hotter than a two dollar pistol. 🔫
Far out, you'll be cooked to a crisp. I'd be avoiding the sun completely at those temps.
