Year Two day One Hundred and Three - 32.5oC in March

Dear all, 

So sorry to dwell on the soaring temperatures... but it's HARD TO IGNORE! Today we hit 32.5oC in the car park of Georgian College campus. I managed to document the 30 degree mark when I was about to embark on  my desert crossing home at around 5pm. This is crazy!!!!

But my goodness, I am LOVING IT! Here are some pics of my 6:30 run this morning... to describe this weather as perfect for running would be a gross understatement. At around 7pm, when the sun rises, it was a balmy 14oC, crisp, clear and fresh. Heaven. 

And here is my first Primrose! Always a joy to see that the perennials survived the winter. I am also very excited about the impending film version of 'The Hunger Games' which I am currently reading (in the 5 minutes I have ever night before I fall into a print-making induced coma) . Fellow fans will, of course, get the reference. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1392170/

And in other news:

1. Drawing class is one of our more intense however, today, after a critique, we were given the task of completing a 'pencil-less' drawing.. 

Karen and I made a beeline for the main exit in order to maximise sun exposure. Here is Karen with a blow torch ( she made some delightful cave drawings on the large pile of rocks outside the art department).

I made a network of Ant Hills made from sawdust and clay... I am not sure If my teacher, Aaron,  appreciated my piece (he said it would have worked better with 'real' ants). I am however, yet to master the art of Ant-wrangling' and not sure Georgian Health and Safety would appreciate me encouraging the massive expansion of their native tetrapod community.
