Summer Heat

It's probably not legal for me to be writing this kind of a post in the cool of the air con.  I wonder how it would read if I was outside.  About an hour ago I was sweating it out in a room half inside, half outside with no air con.  The summer heat here is a killer, as is the humidity.  It's the kind of heat that you just can't imagine until you are living it.  FYI I don't deal well with heat (thanks Dad, sorry Brian).  

Because it doesn't take long to forget, thankfully, I thought I'd record a few of those things that remind me it's summer:

• It takes a good 5+ minutes to cool down the cold tap enough that you can put your child's hand under there.  
• I feel like my car needs to be fully equipped with a slushy machine as we can't get enough cold water and anything else cold when we are outside.
• I considered shouting us a round of frozen raspberry cokes (thanks Macca's drive thru).  Yes, you heard me right, my 1.5 year old included.  I didn't, but it's that hot.
• As soon as we walked in the door all 3 of us had 2 cups of water each.  And I froze a few icey poles.  Note to self:  Put some on the shopping list.
• My outing was a 'take a plate outing'.  I took a plate but couldn't stomach anything.  The 3/4 melted ice cubes looked awesome though.
• I haven't worn a regular t-shirt for days.  It's sleeveless or nothing, regardless of how bad my arms look.  = )  I no longer care that the Country Road sleeveless top I want is $80. 
• Fruit for dinner sounds fantastic.
• And an added bonus - the unshaded concrete area acts as a screen free baby fence.  (That's not as cruel as it sounds, I always check the temp first).

What do you prefer summer or winter?  And if you have an ideal in between town please let me know, I might need to move there!
