Simo - The Red Shoe Diaries (Part 1)

Had a really bad nights sleep last night. Woke up with right shoulder pretty sore, most likely from sleeping on that side too much. Also guessing that carrying the huge inflatable up the stairs at the water park yesterday hasn’t helped my shoulder a great deal. Its a deload this week so that should help a little.

You don’t know me!! I might be the really weird guy!

16c is summer? Summer here is closer to 40c lol

Oh don’t worry mate. When summer properly hits then we got 40+. For some reason this year we have just had a shitty spring. Probably means we will have a stinking hot summer that will go later into autumn.

But summer in Australia is dry? The thing that sucks in the Ph is that summer is very humid, which makes the heat index worse

Oh okay, I thought you live in one of those places where the high in summer is like 20c.

Depends where. Up the top end it gets very humid indeed.

Yer Mark is spot on, up the top end it is really humid. Down the bottom it’s hotter but it’s generally dry.

Well that sucks. Warm humid heat and bugs trying to kill you left and right. You Ausies are a special kind of cray :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

I remember spending about a week near Cairns, middle of August, so winter time. It was at least 30C and sunny (at least during the day).

Can I get some climate change that just makes whole year relative cold?

Went for my massage session tonight. Mate was that painful or what??? She worked on my hips, abs, quads and glutes and it was basically like torture. She commented that my quads weren’t too bad considering the training I do. But when she hit the glutes it was a different story. She kept asking me to try to relax but I was already as relaxed as I could be. At one point I flexed the glutes hard just so I could show the difference !!! All feels a bit bruised but will hopefully feel looser tomorrow.

Is this that brexit thing I’ve been hearing about?

Nope, we don’t mention the B word. Global warming is likely to make us even more mild and gloomy though, as far as anyone can tell, due to the disruption of air flow round the planet.
