It was 41 degrees Celcius in Eden today!

We've had a cool summer, but now that the tourists have all gone home to get their kids started at school, the sun has come out and the weather has become very warm.  It got so incredibly hot today that at 6 in the evening the fan was still blowing hot air at me and there was no relief in sight, so I turned on the weather channel and according to them it was 41.1 degrees Celcius.  That's 105 Fahrenheit!  No wonder it was getting to be a bit much...


So we went down to the beach for an evening swim.  It was so nice!  The water was just right, although the air still felt like a furnace an hour later.

Evening Swim at Asling's Beach

February is normally the warmest month here, and the best for swimming because the water has warmed up by then.  I don't know who decided that kids should start school in February in this country.  It seems cruel, especially since most schools don't have air conditioning.  But at least we have the beach!
