Summer is here with a vengance

19:09, 08 Jun 2008

As anyone who's in troy has noticed, summer has arrived, late as usual, and on overdrive to make up for missed time.

(Humidity 82%, 30-35C, less that 6mph winds)...

However i took it as an excuse to wash my lovely car

My shiny :)

Next time tho i may get them to do a whole works rather than a basic scrub, but its gonna rain with a vengance some time in the next week so that would seem a bit of a waste.

So i got home after getting a few bits and pieces (no noro sock yarn as yet, most yarn stores round here seem to be closed on sundays) and turned on the air conditioner.
Underpowered and overdraining

But because its only in the kitchen, and my apartment is huge and been heated all day, it did struggle a bit, so i ended up finding a creative use for my knitting needles and a fairly useless sheet....

Another use for knitting needles

So now the back rooms are segmented off with the sheet, so its a lot more survivable back here.

Anyway, i hope in a little while it cools down...

Measure of pride...

Take the test!

I take it as a matter of pride.

Almost midnight....

Its almost midnight, and its still overly hot.

28 C at 11 o clock

If i go to the front of the apartment, its like an oven... i'm torn between turning the air conditioner off, and keeping it on... but i'll probably be environmental and turn it off.

The Storm Commeth...

Finally after days of waiting there seems to be a storm starting up over Troy,

I couldn't get a good outside shot, so i went for the google earth weather view showing the storm.

I do know that its been coming in from the rest of america rather than forming here, but sounds better that its starting up over here.
