We were in last week when it got up to 29°c. That's in Perth with the solar heating running. Probably down a bit now as it's been overcast for a couple of days.

Cheers,

Stu

Kids went in for a quick swim. I'm not that brave (stupid)

But you're in Victoria? ...

I've been watching the weather closely because i'm camping on Philip Island at the weekend at the Moto GP, and its not looking promising.

I heard that we might even get 100mm of rain over the next 36 hours here in the hills.

I think this time next week the pool will be overflowing and 16 degrees

Altho tempted didn't venture in today. Temp at start of the day was 21C and last time I checked it was just short of 24C, but we did have a full day of sunshine on it ... ... one small cloud spotted all day which was a refreshing change to how it's been of recent.

Hope to be seeing more action on this thread once all weather sorts itself out ...

Ours is still cloudy from the rain and chemicals. It was 22 yesterday. Today promises lots of sunshine, so here's hoping.

Just spent the morning scooping out half a gum tree from the pond (sorry, pool) and scrubbing the sides and bottom. Its now a lovely green colour

I really should have cared for it in the off season, I know and its going to take some tlc to bring it back to its former glory but I reckon in a couple of weeks we will be good to go.

22 degrees today.
