Too damned hot

Ten good things about a hot, hot day.

1. The comforting smell of the stiff, clean washing when you pull it off the line, only an hour after you hung it out
2. Floating on the pool with a good book
3. Our beautiful Sydney beaches
4. The sizzle and spit of the evening BBQ
5. Cool sparkling mineral water with a squeeze of fresh lime
6. Remembering when you were a kid and you forgot your thongs (flip flops for my American readers) and you had to choose between burning your feet on the scalding tar or walking through a bindy-eye patch - ouch.
7. Watching the grass grow
8. Knowing that you'll be pining for it in the middle of a grey winters day
9. Slipping on a summer frock
10. The cool relief of a southerly change.

I've been doing yoga for a while now but it's taken me this long to realise that things can be easy or things can be hard - it all depends on how you choose to react to them.

Rejoice in this beautiful summer day people.
