Hot Friday

Yesterday a funeral, today a wedding. Three more of those & you have a movie

One of my cousins married his long-time partner today, in a chapel overlooking the ocean at Little Bay... just a quick drive from the golf course, a short shot from the shooting range & a tear-gas cannister's lob from the gaol. A good ceremony, actually, with a celebrant who had a better grasp on how these things should go than ours did last November... one day I'll write up the story of that day... Not today

So, a bit of a family catch-up & meeting bits of the new family, who seem harmless enough ~ compared to our lot anyway

According to various news sources, today was the hottest day on record in Sydney, reaching 45C in the city & coast & something horrible to even think about out west. In true Australian Summer style though, the storm & southerly change came roaring through in the late afternoon with strong winds & lightning & thunder, but bugger-all rain. It's still pretty humid now at 11pm. Maybe one last watering of the garden & myself is in order before bed, perchance to dream of cool things... or even cold ones
