Once again it's too hot!

It's 40 degrees C out there - that's 106F. There are books galore waiting to be shelved but it's just too hot down there in the depths of the shop. It's ok up here at the desk with the fan blowing - only 30 C up here.

There are big clouds building up as I type but no rain is forecast in the immediate future - maybe later in the week. Possibly. Hopefully. Without significant rainfall soon, Melbourne has water reserves for 14 months only. Country areas have even less. This drought is mega-serious.

And the fires continue to burn and burn and burn.
