Pollyanna,

I remember reading one of your posts last Summer saying how hot it was and how you missed the cold. At the time I thought "Yeah right".

Well, I take it all back. It's hot, damn hot, and I want some good old fashioned cold weather.

Partner is australian and cannot print the words he used to describe working outside today Caboolure too, would be much hotter than here. Whingin aussie

Inside our house is 29 degrees right now. I am trying to keep our 12 week old baby cool, whilst I feel roasted. We have the ceiling fans on full, the windows and blinds closed. The only thing keeping me going is knowing Tim will be home in a few hours 2 and a quarter to be exact and counting and we are going out to buy a portable air con unit.

Give me hot over cold...ANYTIME

Aircon and fans. No problem

I'm off to the UK next week.

Getting back to Australia is a real pain (basically I am stuck over there for an extra 2 weeks as the Mrs cannot get a confirmed return flight on my airmiles: currently all flights late october/early november are weightlisted for London-Singapore, so obviously a mass exodus from the Old Country.

It will be nice being able to let off a few fireworks without burning down half the countryside!

Talking of fires, its that time of year again - the smell of smoke in the air.....

Katie, you need to OPEN every window in the house to get a breeze through. Unless you have excellent insulation & A/C, you should NEVER close all the windows in the house when its hot as the roof void just heats up & the heat radiates down into the house. All you are doing with the fans is circulating hot air. It must be an expat thing, I see it all the time & they wonder why its hot :scared: .

Please please PLEASE, open all the windows & doors that you can when its hot like this - people DIE from locking themselves up in hot houses (especially elderly people & babies!).

Edit : PS & make sure you drink & drink & drink & so does the baby, you literally should be drinking gallons of water or you will dehydrate.

Our house was 30C when I got in from work. Now it's cooled down to a much more pleasant 28C

Stop showing off you lot, I'm sitting at the computer covered in goose bumps.

My son got in the pool for the first time yesterday - came out after 4 minutes with blue lips.
