| Weather Me Melty |
According to the BOM, it is currently 40 degrees outside. According to our thermometer, it is 31 degrees inside. Our evaporative airconditioner has broken down, and the last time we had someone look at it (to see if the rusted support frame needed fixing) they said they wouldn't touch it for fear it would fall apart. We have sent requests for quotes to seven companies, and have had a response from one.
It is hot.
It is hot.
It is hot.
The reverse-cycle split system in the theatre room is our best decision of the last six months. We have retreated to the recliners and spent as much of today there as we could. If the door is left open, it even knocks a couple of degrees off the rest of the house - it's best if all the doors are shut except the bedroom, and that keeps at least the bedroom a liveable temperature.
The BOM site says this:
Forecast for Monday
Hot at first with light northeast to northwest winds, ahead of a moderate
southerly change late morning. Southerly winds freshening and becoming milder

suburbs.

Oh, poor Ata. Move to Tasmania.

Y'know what? I am very glad I don't live in Aus.
-
I'll trade locations with you!

You better watch out, Indy - a few more 40 plus days and I might take you up on that!
I mean, I like warm weather, but 40 is too hot.
