I've been having lots of issues with my ipad since running the last ios update and I am just about to run another update on my ipad which promises to "include bug fixes and increase stability and performance issues"!
So fingers crossed folks, and if you don't hear from me again soon you'll know it had the wrong results!!! ":(]"

Good luck Julie!

Weather update - now 41 degrees here.

[Faye]

Wow just took my son to work, we live on the coast, and the place is jumping, cars, bikes, dogs and people everywhere, it might be a big summer - bring it on! That means heaps of work for the kids and I, yipee!

Well, that seems to have worked ok...thus far??? I wonder if they could put something like that into a capsule form for people? I reckon I could enjoy the benefits ;)

Thanks Leonie.
The outside temperature here seems to have subsided somewhat and is currently sitting at 37.6C.

[Kathryn]

Which update was it, Julie? I see that update 8.1.1 is available on mine and while I haven't had "issues" since the last update - it changed some things to ways I don't really like, so I'm hesitant to update again...

Yes that's the one Kathryn, 8.1.1, I have had so much trouble with it slowing down and screen freezing...a real B***h when writing comments or reviews as they disappeared after re starting!...and like you lots of lttle things I didn't like.
So it all looks ok for the moment, after downloading the 8.1.1, though I won't really know until I use it a bit. Fingers are still Xd ;)

Our outside (in the patio) temp at the moment is 42.5! I just got the last of the washing off the line and the heat is blistering - it's very quiet outside, no-one out and about, none of the usual lawn mowers, whipper snippers even dogs barking! It's too hot for anything!

[Vicki]

Yikes! Blistering is right, Brenda. It's only 32C here (for now) -- quite pleasant.

Stay cool and enjoy your Sunday arvo, everyone.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Inside, air con on - reading and not much else happening:)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I am wondering when it will stop going up! 43.5 now:(

That is ridiculous! Has it been 40 or above for several days?? You all have my deepest sympathy in NSW - especially the firies - but please, don't let that weather come up here to QLD!!! We do not want it!!

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

43.9 here. This is exceptional! The forecast is still good for tomorrow though. Just 26.

[Liam || Books 'n Beards]

30something today. Yesterday was so strange - sort of 25~, muggy as all hell, and INCREDIBLE thunder. No rain or lightning, just thunder that shook the house and scared the life out of my cat.

we've had a bit of rain and it has cooled a little. It was funny to watch the steam rising from the roads....

Got a like from the author on my review of Seven Letters From Paris :)

No this is our first above 40 Kathryn...39 yesterday though:(

Yes it does - great you had one too:)

37 here today. But cool in air con. Not intending going out in it any more after just getting a nice cream. ice cream shop assistants are run off their feet. That's what happens when you live in holiday places.

[Carolyn]

Oh that's way too hot Phrynne and Brenda! Hope you're keeping yourselves and your animals cool.
We didn't get quite so hot here closer to Sydney, about 36C and it's cooling down rapidly with a bit of breeze around. My son went to the beach and said it was foggy and felt really weird.

[Leonie]

Has been 44 here, and now clouding over a bit. Desperately hoping for a thunderstorm!

Sadly, ours is for 40...

Haven't moved much Carolyn;) It's clouding over now and the temp has dropped a little (38c)...still too hot though! It's saying 28c for tomorrow, so we will see...

[Jülie ☼♄ ]

I haven't moved much today either but will have to go soon as my battery is running low! ....and the ipad! :D

Don't you love the buzz that gets around town in holiday season though, then I know it wheres thin but there is a buzz at the start.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

We're in the midst of a violent thunderstorm at the moment - the rain has just started. Lost the air con for a bit, but flicked the switch outside and it came back on...

[Leonie]

All that rain missed us. We're getting TV interruptions though, so I assume that's your thunderstorm, Brenda!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

It's really violent! I can hear an alarm going off somewhere nearby and one of our outside blinds has collapsed! Nothing we can do at the moment...

All handy Michael, and no, she most definitely is not!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

A piece of fence is resting across our back fence/neighbour's fence and our roof! It's not from our fence so we're not sure where it came from. Water in the garage, patio roof is leaking! Tree in our back yard near the garden shed has a limb broken off - it's not big fortunately....

Holy moley - haven't seen one like that in awhile!!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

What a shame you didn't get the rain Leonie! We probably got your share too...

[Leonie]

I'd say so Brenda. We haven't seen a drop.

That's amazing! It was the flash flooding type here!

Wow, that sounds like a really violent storm Brenda! Hope it's cooler now and the weather settles down tomorrow.

[Marianne]

As my bookclub this arvo didn't eventuate, I spent the time making personalised calendars for next year and writing my Christmas Newsletter. Yes, I'm one of THOSE people! After I've done my bit, hubby adds his comments in italics, adding plenty of humour.

while I was shopping in W'gong, the rain came down and the steam went up, but by the time I got to Thirroul, roads still dry. Just now we're having the gods moving furniture, it's much cooler (24C) and I'm glad I hung Mum's washing in the garage, roads quite wet.

[Leonie]

We're down to 33.9 degrees now. Still bone dry.

A couple of days ago we found our friendly green tree frog swimming in our dogs' water bucket after a hot day.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

10,000 homes without power in the Lake Macquarie area (which is mine) but fortunately we didn't lose it!

That would have been cute Leonie!Love those little frogs:)

I would like a little bit of your storm to come my way. We are cooler but still dry.
Hope your damage is just minor when you get to have a good look at it.

I'm one of those people too - just to family though, most of my close friends know what's happening anyway. Next Sunday is the big Christmas card writing day - sending them all on December 1st which is the traditional start to my Christmas.

Having said that, I put my tree up today as Little Lily gets back next Sunday - so I wanted to enjoy my tree before she sees it :)

We got rain here in Gosford but not heavy. Mostly just thunder and a bit of wind. The storm wasn't enough to cancel the soccer or fireworks, put it that way. It was still really misty at 9 though.

Oh no Brenda! I nearly thought I'd need to recommend a fencer we know in your area but glad it's not needed. (It's my hubbies trade). We experienced 40+ degrees and my mum said 46.6 at Barrington!!

Good work, Brenda. I've seen Malla interviewed for about 1/2hr on Foxtel. She's really interesting and seems like a lovely person.
