There are some records you don't wanna break

Mutterings continued.

And sweltering through the hottest December day in 30 years is one of them. 41.5c is a tad over the odds if you ask me. It's almost 7pm and it's still about 30c. Down to 20c at 4am tomorrow and then up to 30c again. Bleurgh.

Dad was in hospital but is now out again after having absolutely nothing done for or to him except a couple of blood tests. Hollywood Hospital forgot to send the taxi to pick him up yesterday; they forgot to give him his dinner last night and then forgot to give him his lunch today. The specialist who was supposed to being seeing him today, and who wanted him in hospital in a hurry, was working at Royal Perth Hospital and had no intention of going to Hollywood. Dad is royally pissed off and refusing to go back.

On a lighter note, looks as though I may have a car. My brother did some ringing around and found the model I want in the colour I want for $17,990. The base price is $15,990 plus $2000 for aircon plus lord knows how much for the licence, stamp duty, etc etc, plus $250 for metallic paint. I have to ring the dealer tomorrow and shore up the deal.

I caught the Derek Jacobi episode of Frasier last night. He must have had a ball hamming it up and chewing the scenery.
