We only get up to about 26 degrees in Auckland - but it is the humidity that makes it seem like 30 or more. We have it humid even in the winter. |

I have to admit to a tear for each of mine on their first day at school. However, they were tears of sadness with my 2nd,3rd and 4th, but when my first went to school, they were tears of joy! Whether or not he was the result of my learning to be a parent, he was 'different' from the others- they were much better behaved than he was. He was one of these children who have to touch everything - shake it, pull it apart, and not be able to put it back, etc. whereas, the others stayed by my side quietly. I did feel teary when he started high school, though, because by then, he had quietened down. |

I remember my first day at school, but only the part where I skinned my knee and had to sit on a chair with my foot up, but I don't remember starting other schools. Perhaps because they were in the same grounds or across the road. |

Sometimes to-day's temperature can be higher than yesterday's, and yet, we feel better. It's because to-day's humidity is not as high as yesterday's was. Humidity makes us feel listless - some even feel sick. As soon as I begin to feel this way, I switch the aircon on, even though it may not feel all that hot. Without the humidity, the high temperatures can be bearable by getting in the shade, etc. but high humidity can be a killer. |

It is the humidity that affects us more - I seem to remember when walking about in Middle Eastern countries not really feeling uncomfortable. |

I love it here Berona, I drove ten miles to a little town this morning and only two cars came the other way, and we wave to each other, although we don't know them. |

I feel sorry for my OH today marks the start of the Foundation Weekend for the Liturgical Choir. This is when new members get introduced and the Bishop or his representative blesses the Choir. |

That sounds like a very uncomfortable weekend for your OH Allan - I do hope she can find some cool somewhere - and will their voices be at their best? |

It's a pity the organisers couldn't have found a better venue, Allan. I hope she gets through it OK. |
