Relief At Last

The air conditioner eventually went on last night (Mon) at about 5:15 pm. Humidity has stuck around 70%+ for all the day! Last night it got down to about 26 but we still slept well under the fan. This morning Tony and I rode for almost 13 kilometres in 85% humidity and I finished up in a lather of sweat but the pool fixed all that. At lunchtime the pool water temperature was 31 degrees!

A cool wet southerly change was promised for this afternoon with possible storms. It seemed like the storms passed us all day until about 2 pm these clouds built up to the south (see the photo)! We could hear thunder all day but the clouds seemed to bypass us. The clouds slowly worked their way towards us from the south.

Then the skies opened up and the temperature fell from 33 degrees to 26 in a matter of minutes. After 10 minutes I turned the water diverter off, the pool was now full of water! Trish and I are sitting back quietly just cooling off while the rain continues to tumble down outside. We still have the fans running though because the house will take a little time to cool down.

Last night we watched a couple of movies, Robin Williams in "The World's Greatest Dad" and Pierce Brosnan and Susan Sarandon in "The Greatest". "The Greatest" was a sensational movie, especially compared to some of the poor movies which have been nominated for Oscar Awards coming up. This years nominees really are an ordinary bunch compared to 2009.

Both movies were very good and we would recommend them to anyone.
