Re: hot Perth
thanks everyone - good to hear your views!
I did find it odd that we came here for the outdoors but its too hot to go outdoors - especially with a 9 month old bubs!
we are currently badgering the landlord to put air con in and he's 'thinking about it' - I hope he gets to a decision before summer is over, we live in a townhouse and although the downstairs is bearable (we have all moved down there to sleep) the upstairs is just unbearable. you sweat as soon as your foot hits the top stair!
I did see on the weather that it will be 40 again on Monday. BUT then 29 on weds - yahooo!!! (I never thought i'd be pleased to see 29 degrees - this is a hot summer day in england and now i'm waiting to 'cool down' in 29 degrees!) Madness.

I tried to get used to it - tried for 12 years. Last summer I was a prisoner in my house under the air-con. I now live happily in Tasmania

First summer wasnt really a summer - it was the coldest NYE on record in Bunbury I believe...!
Last year was a better summer, luckily we had aircon as I was pregnant at the time.
This year - we are sweltering but given it was pretty cold a couple of weeks ago I think it's the sudden changes in temp that do the "damage" so to speak.

Re: hot Perth
My OH is an air-con installer and no-one waits 8 weeks on his jobs...to fit a split system he usually does it the same day or next day. If they want ducted, well that's a 2 man job and all day job...he won't install that, but repairs it.

Re: hot Perth
Yes it is a bit lacking in some things, but I haven't wanted for anything. It is all about supply and demand and with a state population of 475,000 well, you can do the math. Anyhow Melbourne's just over the moat so one can always save up for a big shopping trip.
Although I find myself not needing to 'keep up with the joneses' here. People seem more content with what they have. Or it could just be I have a different circle of friends here that aren't chasing the bigger and better
