It’s hot in Perth today. Sticky, muggy, please will you just rain and get it over with, kind of hot. And we don’t have air-conditioning except for the bedroom and my computer where I have been working from home at is not in the bedroom.
I’m at home because my daughter, due to start school today at a brand new school, is sick. Was sick. Was sick with fear I think and worked herself into a knot creating a fever, headache and vomiting. She didn’t sleep last night with these symptoms and so today, reluctantly, I let her stay home.
Now that she’s better, she agrees that she probably was a little nervous.
Of course missing the first day makes it even harder for herself – but what could I do? She was fast asleep after a long night of feeling sick. And what if she really had a virus? The parents would not have thanked me.
Anyway she’s going tomorrow and in bed early tonight.
Ah thunderstorms! But they are not making things any cooler. A few spots of rain have fallen and dried before they hit the ground, baking hot after a week of stinking +35C days. (hence my title – thanks to Loz)

This made me laugh because this is the first year that my kids really really want to go to school.Every day. I love it when there is a reason that I can dawdle in the morning. My wife has me on a 12 step programme to be at school at time, which I am terrible about. Both my kids luuuuuuuv their teachers and their mates. Party invitations and visits to kids houses week one in a new school is pretty amazing. Enjoy those days with your children. They grow up way too fast. Then I wont have a reason to stay home. Sad.
Petrichorically? There’s a word I’ve never heard. Where’s my dictionary?
Nope, ’tain’t there. Where did you find this word and what does it mean exactly? I’m rather curious.
Okay, clicked on the link and found the meaning, should have done that first eh?
