Today is the Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year, in the Southern Hemisphere. Conversely, it is the Winter Solstice for the northies.

The mercury reached 35°C in Brisbane today, and the longest day of the year isn’t even the hottest. That comes later on. I’m positive that there is some irony to be found, the extra sun hours being rendered unpleasant by the excessive heat that comes with them. This is left as an exercise for the reader.
