Re: Isn't anyone else fed up with this weather?
This has just reminded me of a funny incident we had in Sydney.
We took our pooch for a walk along the cliff tops at Coogee beach. It wasnt that hot when we set out, but the temps must have soared well up into the 30s.
We decided to walk back down the cliffs to go home. After a few minutes i realised the dog was missing. I turned round to see a small crowd had gathered under a tree ad were laughing. Our pooch had decided to go on strike, laid on her back and wouldnt walk anymore
OH had to pick her up and carry her back to the car!!!

yeah we always took water, even wasted money on one of those canvas doggie drink bowls, but she doesnt drink it either. Was funny though especially when OH put the lead on her and she still refused to get up and he was dragging her along the grass on her back

Re: Isn't anyone else fed up with this weather?
I'm all for enjoying being back in England, but I'm definitely not happy with this weather. Is it just because I'm back from Canada, not OZ?
Back in Victoria, it's chugging along at 5-10 degrees, which isn't unusual for January and is much more my cup of tea. I'm enjoying other things about being home, but not this weather. I was prepared for a nippy winter up here in Yorkshire, but not this.
A question -- if this is the pattern for the future (snow, ice, and cold that begins about Christmas and lasts till March, which this might) would it make you think of moving elsewhere? I've heard rumours that the Gulf Stream has weakened, and that would be the result.

Wrong thing its been humid as hell, like breathing through glue, kids have only been back from UK 6 days and have spent most of that time with the AC on high, god only knows what the elec bill will be !!!!!! And I have been down the nicklin way 3 times today, bring back memories
I could have shot myself.
However if you still feel like that we could switch. 35 predicted next week, revolting.

Lived on the Gold Coast for 10yrs now and this is the most uncomfortable summer I've had. Staying indoors to avoid the heat and humidity with the air-con on, no sign of anyone on the streets. It's just too hot and humid..As someone said, horses for courses, this horse will be changing course as soon as possible.

I woke up this morning to GREEN grass, all the snow has gone, much as I love the snow I do hate the ice
