Nice breeze with the heat today, turns NW tomorrow, furnace heat.
Past 2 days the gardens have gone brown, the palms are all dropping leaves and the pool water evaporated 3 inches since sunday.
Heatwaves used to be more jan/feb, november is very early to have high 30's as predicted sat/sun. Not good.

If it wasn't that the trains don't run early enough, I'd move and commute!

Re: Brisbane heat hell
I hesitate to mention this but, as I rise from sitting in a chair for longer than five minutes there is a large wet patch left behind. Is that normal?
