[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 405297, member: 1991"] G'day, people. I feel like I hit the ground running this morning. A needy friend rang very early, wanted help with her computer. So I took difficult child 3 round there before breakfast to deal with it. But one thing led to an other and to another, it was late morning before I got difficult child 3 home. I had to leave a short time later to go to my meeting. And it is so hot! I know I've been complaining about the heat for days, but this was the worst today - husband said that when he got home, our outdoor thermometer (it's in a shady spot open to the air, it is actually quite cool, never gets direct sun) had to be re-set. So who knows what the maximum was earlier in the day. But from mid-afternoon, the peak temperature for it was 44 C (111F). By the time I got home it was 41.5 C outside, a cooler 31 C inside. I ran the tap in the bathroom and got hot water. Really! I estimate the cold tap is running at about 60 C (140 F). So we can't even fill up a glass of water at drinkable temperature. Luckily I had put a couple of water bottles in the fridge - then difficult child 3 drank down my chilled water, while at the same time saying, "I don't know what you're complaining about, today is not that hot..." "Don't drink my chilled water then," I told him. They've forecast record high temperatures overnight and again tomorrow, then hopefully we will get a storm by midday - the tail effect of the cyclone finally reaching us. We just got back from a swim at the beach - the water is so warm it is not very refreshing. It's about 25 C (77 F) in the water, but there's a hot wind blowing in your face the whole time. I splashed seawater on my face and it was dry in seconds. I had a cold shower when we got back, then went to rub my block of body butter on - it was a liquid puddle in the tin! We're about to go to mother in law's for dinner as usual. Her air conditioning had better be working... Enjoy your Saturday. I hope some of our heat can work its way around to you all, to thaw you out. Marg [/QUOTE]
