Yeah, I will probably need an extra pump.

Not this time, with two kids in the spa there were no spare hands for cameras.

Ack, my daughter's turned the a/c off again. She says she's too cold.

I can't do the beach at these temps. Sizzling sand, frying parking lot. No fun whatsoever.

Oh and it did get to 41.1C today. Even Rotto made it to 39.5. That must be awful. We were out there at 34C back in late November and that felt too warm for roaming around the island (especially since you won't be in an a/c car).

Went to Cottosloe Beach mid morning for a few hours. Probably due to the excessive heat the beach was busy but far from full.
Water close in a little dirty but better further out. Still refreshing in the sea but too hot to linger long on the beach but did a hours walk all the same.

Don't do a/c myself as OH has an allegy to it. A lot of cold showers and disturbed sleep this week perhaps.

Just had a swim in the pool, it was great.

Took the dogs out at 6 this morning but it was hot then.We will take them out again after 7 but in the car this time so they can cool down on the way back.

We don't have the aircon on but the windows are open and there is a breeze coming through the house though it is mainly hot air:eeg:This evening I will have a dip in my daughters paddling pool.

It is hard on the dogs though one of them goes under the bed the other one is at my feet which makes a change from on my lap.He is so stupid in the heat as he will go outside and just chase the dragonfly round the pool and down the garden until I make him come in.

Might go to the cinema and make use of their aircon tomorrow!

Sounds like my daughter she came in from the pool and asked me to close the windows as she was cold!

Well it's disgusting in NSW at the mo.

Cold, pouring rain and grey skies.

We never went to the beach in the end, my sjogrens is really playing up - putting drops in my eyes every 10 minutes, dry lungs - horrible.

We had a friend stay a few years ago that kept turning off the A/C, in the end I gave her a duvet and hid the remote.

Why do you want to heat the water???

Because the spa is under permanent shade, and unless you take the chill off it the water can be quite uncomfortable.

Doesn't need to be heated that much, just a few degrees to make it tepid.

Trains were running late because of the heat so my train was packed. Packed with stinky bodies.

Got home and thought I'd like to go for a quick swim but lazy ass 17 year old child didn't take the cover off like I told her to. Pool temperature 41°. Air temperature 39°. The water was actually hot.

Cool mid twenties here in Canberra and it's been like that most of the summer. A weird summer indeed.

I am an SES volunteer and I have just been tasked to put together a roster of scribes for the next 7 days for the guys in FESA house. I am hoping that they don't need us and it will be all quiet especially as i have just taken over as Deputy Local Manager for my Section and the Manager has gone up north to help with the cyclone

Sounds great compared to what Perth is getting.

Good onya! let's hope it's a quiet few days.
