How do you survive without air con Emily?? That was the first thing we installed in this house when we moved in over 12 years ago!

Wet towels, little movement and a fan which I reassemble at the first sign of summer.

It's ghastly isn't it!! Heat and humidity (and me) don't mix!!!! It was the same here Michael, and it's going to be 40+ tomorrow, with higher on the weekend:(

[Zoey]

Dont envy you guys at all. You can have that sort of heat all to yourself. We are supposed to have 28 down here in Launceston tomorrow which is hot enough for me thanks :)

I think summer is the only time I'd like Tassy's weather though Zoey:) Too cold in the winter!!

Michael wrote: "Oh no way thats not fair Brenda. :o( Here it is going to be low 30s and lows 20's on weekend wich i have off. Drink lots of water and try not to go out too much."

I know...horrible! I think we'll hibernate with the air con, and won't move...lol They're talking about the electricity suppliers maybe not being able to meet demand with all the air conditioners that will be running!!! :(

Yes we've done that before when the kids were small! A lot of people go to the shopping centres...can you imagine if the power failed there O_O!!!

Yes it can get a bit chilly in Winter, but quite often not as bad as a lot of people think. But in a perfect world (like if I had of married a rich man lol)I think I would Summer in Tas & Winter in Qld :)

Wow that's terrible Michael! What about patients who rely on electricity to survive?

[Catherine]

I have been at work for the last 12 hours. Two more hours to go and home time. Yay! And I have to do it all again tomorrow. :-(

Hopefully that won't happen often!

I survived my shift yesterday

[Jessy]

Just saw on the telly Melbourne had the hottest night since 1901!!! Geez feeling sorry for you guys!!!

[Faye]

Trust me it was bad Jessy, I had the fans going and still could not get comfortable. Just make sure that you look after your animals/pets unfortunately my friend lost her beautiful dog on Thursday, she had a heart attack due to the stress of the heat. She had plenty of water etc however, it was not enough.

[Tracey]

I am, barely, surviving the heat so far. No air-con in my house so I think I'm going to have to part with the dollars and get some before it gets much worse. I had been planning on a dishwasher but right now I'd rather have some air-con :)

Wishing I was with Zoey in Tassie ;)

[Margaret]

It's awful here in Sydney, but at least we have air con in one room. I feel sorry for the animals that can't get cool.

A really good investment I say Tracey! It was 43 outside in our back patio yesterday arvo:( We've had the aircon on all day here today, and to go outside is instant melting!!!

Oh Faye, that is very sad! The poor thing, and the poor owners...awful!

I just want to let everyone know, while I can actually use this thread as well, that some of our threads are down within Aussie Readers. It's actually a bug, which is affecting GR world wide, and the PTB are working on it, have been all day, and yesterday, to fix it. When you click on a thread, it sometimes comes up with

Page Not Found

The page you requested doesn't exist. Please check the url again, or visit the home page.

If you want to read about what's happening, it's in the GR Feedback group... http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1...

Hopefully it won't take too long to fix, as it's very frustrating, to say the least!!!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

That's lucky Michael, hopefully we are supposed to be having the same sort of temps tomorrow, but I'll wait and see!

[Jessy]

The weather is pretty normal up here in Cairns for this time of year. Warm and humid at times. Today is going to be the warmest we have had thus far at 33 but its all good it's part of the wet season although it hasn't been real wet so far.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Today is very overcast, with a stiff breeze that will get stronger I think. It is cooler by far, but still humid in the house. I've got everything open to hopefully cool things down. We're due for more thunderstorms too, they say...

[Jessy]

Will keep my fingers crossed that the thunderstorms just cool you down and don't do any damage Brenda!!!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Thanks Jessy...we need the rain badly. It rained overnight, but not very much...the garden is very thirsty:)

[Tracey]

I try to not even think about my garden any more. Between the severe drought and the super hot temps it resembles a desert with one or two plants trying valiantly to survive.

Just trying to stay cool :)

I know what you mean, but we have too many to lose, including our vege garden as well...I just hand water (fairly often!)

[Katie]

Just finished making myself a babushka doll sewing apron skirt :) now off to water the garden than time to relax and read ;)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Wow that's great Katie:) You're pretty clever with your sewing, aren't you!
