too bloody hot

[trout]

I have just got back from a job in the Simpson Desert where the temps ranged from mid 40's during the day and mid 30's during the night.
I got home 10.30 last night after travelling for 10 hrs
I was there for 6 days and it was bloody awful :dash1:
 I was looking forward too cooling off a bit at home and I looked on the weather site and it is going to be in the mid 40's here today as well :cray:

poor fish

we have cooled down here starting last evening

I grew up in the isa and thought i'd never been through really hot weather such as the over 40 degrees - funny how memory fades!
I found here by day 3 of hot weather I was getting used to it so it is a bit like riding a horse

doesn't mean that I don't hate it!

my veggie pots are surviving which has surprised me after the big wilt they had on day one of the heat wave

keep cool mr fish

I Have just started to cook up a batch of Chillie sauce using yellow habanero's.
I have to wear a gas mask in the kitchen because just the fumes burn my nose and make in run like a tap.
Now THAT'S "Too Bloody Hot" :laugh2:

brilliant solution
I was looking at pools at masters earlier

we used to set them up years ago in the back yard
very refreshing

Got to this yesterday at my place. In the shade.

The thermometer in my car read 42C on the way home from work today.
Watch out S.A. you might be in for some more warm weather.

roof ceiling insulation does work

the builder had the bigger half - probably about 60% house redone leaving the kitchen dining lounge no insulation for the refurb

with the breezeair full bore - the lounge today is 23 degrees - outside 30.6 (the lowest it went without insulation was 24 degrees)

the back bedroom is 20 degrees and all the other bedrooms & study as well ( I bought  a little room thermometer from dick smith yesterday)
I almost need a cardi right now!

Got up to 44 today , and it isn't even Feb-March yet :cray:

I think we went somewhere over the 30
but nothing like that mate
maybe that explains why the Dutch just took a quick look and kept on sailin'!

kkkrraazzy heat!!

A cool shower can be most refreshing on these hot days.

Some days I have seen a queue!
