I am in Inverloch now. Its nice and cool here close to the water.

Being Australian weather and maps makes me question your sense of geography. If it had been American meteorology that might have been a funny joke.

If it was the average temperature I suspect I would have melted in a puddle of red ooze and wobbly bits by now. The average maximum temperature was 40.33, not the average temperature.

I was born in it, melted by it. I didn’t feel the cold until I was already a man. By then, it was nothing to me but freezing! The heat makes you sweaty, because it belongs to me.
