It’s a little nod to Wayne’s World, but instead of ‘party time, excellent’ (if you are aware of the cult nineties classic) I will be diving into one WORD each day. It could be something I learned, something bizarre that happened, a favourite word that I have rediscovered or just a thought that won’t leave me alone.
If you’re joining in on today’s word, feel free to use this tag to connect your post to the series: #WaynesWord
Today’s word is STIFLING (pronounced sty-fling).
Stifling means uncomfortably hot, airless, and hard to escape, the kind of heat that makes everything feel heavy and slow.
Sydney is exactly that today, with extreme heat warnings in place. The air feels thick, the sun relentless, and even the simplest tasks take extra effort. It’s not just warm, it is absolutely stifling.
A good reminder to slow down, stay hydrated, find shade where you can, and look after each other in this heat.

It can get quite stifling here in North Florida, as well. And we do use the term to describe it because it fits so well.
Stay cool, my friend!

It dos fit quite feel, you can almost feel it when you even say the word. Thankfully the winds have come from the south, cooling the place down, hallelujah!
