Journal Entry:
Intended to go wine tasting in the Yarro Valley today but after it being so hot yesterday and last night it's hotter today - and humid. It was way to hot to go taste red wine. So then I decided I'd go for a swim at the pool then go to the beach. But after walking outside I realized it's to hot to do anything. Ended up spending most of the day in air conditioned shops. Bought a book on Java Script (I'm thinking of a major upgrade to the web pages).

Also got a couple of rolls of film developed (with photos from Ethiopia, Madagascar, Bali, and Australia). The film was a little disappointing - it seems like they always are, but when I go back to them later they've always gotten so much better.

Spent some time on the internet, and the rest of the day sitting around sweating. Did some reading and worked on my journals a bit.
