Hard to take this Perth weather
Permalink  

If it isn't the rain, it's this damn Humidity that has got me scratching like my dog, !!!

I woke at 12.15 am sweating like a pig, no wonder the present temp here in Perth is 25.3 deg C and the Humidity is reading 84%

The evap air con in the house is almost useless with this Humidity, it's been belting away since early yesterday morning ,

Might as well turn it off and go and have a cold shower,  

Last Winter I was cursing the Cold , but I think I would rather that than sitting here running like a tap.

The "dear One" has suggested we plug the Caravan in and get the air con fired up in it, 

maybe not a bad idea if this high humidity doesn't let up very soon.

Anyone else effected by the present temp ?????  crycrycry

K.J.

Humidity was pretty bad yesterday, tried doing a bit of work on the ute late afternoon, but the conditions knocked me about too much, gave up and had a beer, its a tough life!

We just had new patio blinds installed so yesterday I got the gurney out to clean the bird doo doo from the concrete floor as well as the normal ingrained dirt.

After a few minutes I found my body was wetting the floor as much as the gurney and....having been in hospital for 3 days with dehydration last week I gave it away.

Well by midday today, I'd had enough of this rotten humidity, 

So taking S.W.M.B.O advice,  It was out to the Caravan, hooked up the Air Con and enjoyed a couple of hours nod-off,

Best sleep in a few days, think I may check it out again tonight, as it's still as sticky as a half melted lolly-pop here. bleh hmm cry

Beautiful Southerly breeze blowing this morning, still a bit muggy but liveable. I'm using this opportunity to sort the garage out.
