Excessive sun is over-rated
Relief from scorching heat awaited!
The urge to snooze, or lap ice cream
Becomes the norm (know what I mean?)
All laundry drip-dries in an hour
While garden plants yearn for a shower;
Forget the ironing, it’s too hot
We raid the fridge; eat what we’ve got!
It’s far too hard to get things done
The urge to “switch off” seems like fun;
Cold drinks with ice cubes are the deal
I pinch myself – is this all real?
While Belgium shivers in the cold
February here is gold;
In shorts and sleeveless top, we dress
Though hats stay de rigueur, I guess!
A brief look at computer screen …
A smattering of emails mean
I must reply but keep them short
As without aircon, life is fraught!

Note: on 12th February, 2025 it was 43°C (or 109°F) but we are drought-ridden and South Australia urgently needs rain! :-)
