Take Five Minutes. .. .

The crush at work has abated for a while, and I'm facing what will probably be a long and boring day.

This is an invitation to take a mere five minutes and leave a comment on this entry by typing anything that occurs to you: stream of consciousness, a favorite memory, a witty or obvious observation, questions for me or for the universe, the beginning of a story, a book or movie recommendation, anything that occurs to you, so I can have something interesting, or intriguing, or amusing, or even mystifying, to read at work today.

Consider it your charitable contribution for the day. It will net you some good karma.
Really!

It's hot as hades here. Well, almost. I actually enjoy going to work for the airconditioning - even if I have to wear a suit skirt. I have to go at 11 this morning - which means I won't finish till 4, which means it may be too cool (or I may be too tired) to go to the beach this afternoon. And going beforehand is just silly. Not to mention stupid, with my fair skin.
Do you live near a beach? I didn't for a while and I missed it horribly. I'm a real waterbaby and a half.

You're in Australia, right?
It was such a shock to read that you were hot today. It's gray and cold in Seattle, as Fall begins to turn seriously into Winter.
So yes, I am near a "beach" in that I live near the coast, but it's a gray-and-white beach most of the time.

Australia, yes. Southeast coast, near Sydney. Out summers come in fits and starts, but after a day of warmth followed by a week of cold wet in succession, humidity and high temperatures have moved in and made themselves comfortable. Is Seattle always cold? I know that even ion the middle of summer on the north island of New Zealand I would have considered it too cold to swim out doors - if their beaches were anything but pebbles.
