today i was told that over the past week sydney has experienced the most consecutive days with temperatures above thirty degrees celsius since 150 years ago. i'm not sure about the validity of this statement, but i trust my platonic friend for relaying this information to me. this impressive record was consolidated in our minds when we realised that not a single person alive has ever experienced this many unbearably warm days in a row. ugh.
at the very least, today, i have the the summer sun, a thinner-than-the-rest-of-the-world's ozone layer and a high pressure weather system to thank for the hot water running out of my cold water taps.
