Drip drip

It sure is hot today. I don't mind the usual Adelaide heat, where you can usually escape it simply by standing under a tree, but this humidity sucks. It reminds me of being in Japan where the heat is so sticky you can't escape it except by having a really great air con. It reminds me of falling asleep at work on the long summer afternoons. I think those days were as close as I will ever be to living life as a cat. Even though you have slept all night the lethargy creeps up on you and there's nothing to do but submit to it. Sure made it difficult to keep awake when the holidays were over and kids came back though!

Did you know that not only too little sleep, but also too much sleep gives me dark circles under my eyes? I'm doing nothing all day, I'm getting my normal amount of sleep and I look awful. I guess the only answer is all night drinking binges to lose some sleep, but I can't be bothered. There is some cause for excitement though; two of my friends are coming back to Adelaide for Christmas. Hurrah! People to play with :) I am going to play with someone tonight too - I am making Rocket and Leek Quiche for the occasion. Might as well make something time consuming since I have a lot of it to consume. I should start making bread. Except then I'd have to eat it I guess.

At the moment I am reading three books. I like to mix them up; it makes for interesting dreams. I love how in dreams the craziest situations just seem normal, we should be more like that in real life. And I also love how everyone wants to share their dreams, tell you every detail, even though they know that when they are subjected to such descriptions themselves they are bored to tears. I dream often. My dreams are clear, like the new plasma wide screen TVs, all the colours are brilliant. People will tell you that your dreams mean something, like that's a piece of trivia or something. Of course they mean something, it is your subconscious at play! This morning I had a dream I would like to not have awoken from.
