It's something people just don't think about. I do see a few who walk their dogs on the grass verges and in many Adelaide suburbs there are containers of some sort filled with water for dogs and cats to drink from outside many homes and shops. <br /><br />Joanne; you'll get there, just a few more weeks and spring will be upon you.<br /><br />Plasman; what is summer heat? Days and days (weeks really) of 38-40+C temperatures. You can keep your winter cold, our Aussie winters are cold enough for me.

Everythin...yep - bus shelters frequently don't.<br />Everything irritates me, but especially people who are thoughtless about animals.

Today...Delores; if I could can it, I'd send it. Today we reached 40.5C, would you like some of that? I'll wish it to you. Just a little though, don't want to overdo it so soon after your freezing cold.<br /><br />Red Nomad OZ; end of summer heat waves seem worse because we're already hot and can't take any more. In the beginning our bodies are still cool from the winter, so we welcome a little heat, besides, those early ones are only in the 30s.<br /><br />Elephant's Child; bring it on I say. Let's have some clouds and rain, cooler winds and comfortable nights. <br /><br />Manzanita; me too. Cranky and so very tired. I simply have no energy.<br /><br />Toni; I love the winter. I'm a naturally warm person, even on frosty mornings I have warm hand and people at work come to me to get their fingers warmed. (we hold hands)So in the summer I really feel way too hot, with no energy and headaches.<br /><br />Andrew; sometimes I think the sun is parked right outside my front door. <br /><br />JahTeh; that sounds great, an autumn that goes on for about 6 months and then we have spring, ideally also for 6 months. Skip summer altogether. <br /><br />Susan; my fingers swell too, oddly enough it is just the fingers, not the whole hand. and the beet red face is a familiar sight in the mirror. I wish I had airconditioning. The store has it, but as soon as I step outside (into the oven)all benefits are lost. <br /><br />Dianne; some bus stops do have shelter, but if the sun is coming from the front, we all have to stand behind it in the shady spot. So they're useless and still hot anyway, because the air is heated. Trees would go a long way to helping, but there still might not be enough shade depending on time of day and angle of sun. Air conditioned stops would only work if they were fully enclosed. Can't see our gub'mint paying for that.<br /><br />Tempo; I know you've had it much hotter where you are, but today's 40.5 was way too much for me. I fell asleep on the way home on the bus and had to walk back in the mid afternoon heat for about 20 minutes.
