Have I mentioned how cold it gets here? Well please remind me next time I complain about it. Good lord its 40 plus degrees here and I live in a tin shed! Worse still its going to be hotter tomorrow.
Now I understand we all have our weather extremes but at least in Sydney we were equiped for the heat. Two split system air conditioners and a 9 metre pool. Here even the dam has dried up (not that you would swim in it) and there is absolutely nothing except a couple of fans to cool us down. Still many before us have endured a lot worse without even refrigeration, so I should stop complaining, but that doesnt make me feel any cooler lol! And out come the snakes!
The grass has gone yellow and the lush green landscape has been replaced with the type of dry, brittle harshness that really is unique to the Australian countryside. From sunrise to sunset now you can hear the seed pods in the trees splitting and bursting in the heat. Still its paradise here .... If only I had a pool !

So sorry , about the heat.
Remember how cold you were, or will be in winter - that may help to cool you down.
Tips (I used to use when in my sarong and dripping perspiration, while u guys cooling in your luxury homes) run cold water over the insides of your wrists and ear lobes, lay cold flannel over the back of your neck. Sip on ice cubes. I have, in the past, taken cold flannel to bed with me, but BE CAREFUL - you can get a cold doing that.
Hi Sue
Hope you and the family are going okay with all the bushfires around. Lisa
