I went down to meet a friend for a cuppa this morning. Only a kilometre away. By the time I arrived I was a soggy and unappetising mess, with perspiration dripping down my face. Urk. Around about 14C is my preferred temperature, though I can cope till the low 20s. <br /><br />Good luck with your blackout. I hope it was v brief.Elephant's Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06650565833097914052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664393407924733681.post-3861191316696086572012-01-25T08:25:33.126+10:302012-01-25T08:25:33.126+10:30Toni; you're in the west, so you had this heat...Toni; you're in the west, so you had this heat before we did, you know what I'm talking about. <br /><br />Delores; things won't be cooling down any time soon. This is our summer. <br /><br />Frogdancer; and it's coming your way. AND I woke up this morning to find we've been blacked out. No electricity since very early this morning. I'm starting to worry about the food in my freezer.<br /><br />JeanetteLS; not many people here have well water, even out in the country, although a lot of farming properties do have dams. I really do wish that those who feel the heat more in summer can be catered for. Things aren't so bad in our winter, people wear coats while I work comfortably in shirtsleeves.<br /><br />Plasman; is that 9 degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit? It sounds deliciously cool, but I know that in reality that's too cool for me. I prefer the 18-25 Celsius range which is 64-77Fahrenheit. <br /><br />Windsmoke; thank you! That's the quote I was trying to remember for my title, but couldn't bring it to mind, so used Billy Idol's song instead.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664393407924733681.post-51181530892503190592012-01-25T07:40:12.210+10:302012-01-25T07:40:12.210+10:30Its "Hot, Damned Hot" as Robin Williams ...Its "Hot, Damned Hot" as Robin Williams says in the movie Good Morning Vietnam :-).Windsmoke.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12225394580987872677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664393407924733681.post-79029902065851378812012-01-25T07:36:17.060+10:302012-01-25T07:36:17.060+10:30Hi River,

We got the odd sizzling summer but mostly they are comfortable and very pleasant. <br /><br />That's not to say I haven't experienced nasty heat - 45 degrees Celsius in Las Vegas and a very humid 38 degrees in Hong Kong.<br /><br />Anyway - tomorrow in Manchester the temperature will reach a high of 9 degrees. <br /><br />I'll bet you wish you were here...<br /><br />;-)<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />PMPlastic Mancunianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01864213919913476168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664393407924733681.post-27799745336719095392012-01-25T05:39:30.507+10:302012-01-25T05:39:30.507+10:30That's the thing about not having well water u...That's the thing about not having well water up here in July is Summer Land. It's the same thing. Warm water out of the coldwater tap. Not quite hot here, but so what? It stinks just the same.<br /><br />I have an image of a whole lot of Adelaide-dwellers looking like airplane people, walking around airing the armpits. I kind of like it.<br /><br />Ever notice that, no matter what the country, people cater to the people who say they are cold? They can, as you point out, add layers to their clothing. But when you are hot? You can do NOTHING but hope it cools down.<br /><br />There. I feel better now. But up here, we were complaining about the 5 degrees (F) it was at 7 a.m. THere were not enough layers.<br /><br />Living in the land of extremes gives one many opportunities to kvetch.JeannetteLShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13528285846408727632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664393407924733681.post-85881934764531417422012-01-25T05:38:57.863+10:302012-01-25T05:38:57.863+10:30Yuck.
