Not a big fan of GB
I didn't think I was either but I bought some for our first Aussie Day celebrations a few years back and found it to be amazingly thirst quenching. Downed it in one

Not up here. Don't think we'll be looking at 30 again for another week. I was back in jeans today after burning my feet on the pool surround last weekend.

We're planning a weekend indoors, just like you might do if there was a blizzard, just the occasional trips outside to the pool, to sit in the water, under the shade cloth.

Love how the Dan Murphy's ad popped up, complete with pictures of bottles of perry.

Chardonnay? How did I miss this Thread Of Commonwealth Would Be Out And Proud Homosexual Revelation?

I'm on the el cheapo red cask under $15 for 5 litres rectangular thing turps, as usual.

Never did me any harm, etc.

Actually, that's what I did. It's quite a big bottle, though (and I don't drink much).

I would, if we had aircon. Instead, it's keep the windows and curtains closed and get the fans working. Which reminds me, I must ring the curtain/blind place who didn't get our order ready before Christmas. That is, we don't have any blinds or curtains in the kitchen/living area at the moment, just window tinting, so you pretty much have to wear sunglasses indoors in this part of the house at the moment.
