It is so hot.
Someone up there is having a devilish barbecue and plans to include me in their sweaty massacre.. I managed to stay on the beach for maybe two hours before I had to capitulate and crawl inside. I then spent half an hour showering in cold water while drinking water from a bottle.
Lately I’ve been told that I have obtained quite an Australian accent, but don’t be fooled! Today it was proved once and for all that I should still be treated like the foreigner I am. When Blanche said that she was going to the beach I was more than happy to join her, and grabbed a bag to put all my beach essentials in.
At the beach I realised that she had intended to swim, and as I was wearing underwear (not the kind that could pass for a bikini) and not baders I couldn’t cool myself with a quick dip in the ocean. I also forgot a towel, which would have been useful if I was going swimming, but also to use as a mat to sit on. I tried to use my shirt but ended up getting sand pretty much everywhere..
Blanche and her friends were kind enough to inform me about the dangers of cancer caused by the sun, and the gazing gap in the ozon layer that hags over Melbourne like a beasts deadly muzzle.. Ready to roast you for it’s private little barbecue..
And there I was, without any sunscreen.
I would appreciate if someone could give me a crash course in how tot be an Aussie. Now I’m in bed, exhausted and suffering from sun stroke, feeling quite sorry for myself.
ICE CREEEEEEAM!
