The Great Aussie Sickie

I wish I knew how to take one of these more often. In a former life, in a former occupation, we used to call them Mental Health Days. 

I think I'll call this particular day off "Recovering from the Heat Day".

Unfortunately, Summer and I do not agree. A day or two yes, and if the temperature stays under 30° and the humidity is low, Summer and I can tolerate each others company quite nicely and even be the best of friends.

But Summer had decided that Melbourne should try to turn itself into a sub tropic climate during the last week featuring over 30° days and higher humidity so we can experience energy sapping days and uncomfortable nights. And this builds up to one constant headache and exhaustion.

So today, I was forced to take a sickie. Now my best friend is my headache tablet and Summer and I are not speaking.

Summer is also not being spoken to because we have this:

And what we do not have is any sewing up of this otherwise completed garment. It is just too uncomfortable to sit under a pile of knitting and sew up seams.

And knowing Summer, it will suddenly pretend to be Autumn for a few days, and that is when this garment will be needed.
