[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 405141, member: 1991"] G'day people. Well, the record fell. We are now officially experiencing the longest heatwave ever, in Sydney. The record will fall tomorrow too, as it is forecast to reach 35 C here, into the 40s in the west of Sydney. Looking at the satellite pictures, Yasi, now a storm, is circling in the heart of Australia but it's still huge, reaching now into all mainland states to some extent. The rain is falling inland but a lot of the moisture is heading our way in Sydney in the next few days. Sunday afternoon/Monday, they said, we should have rain. Today I had a few messages to run so I took my scooter. Had to wear long sleeves and a hat, the sun was just too fierce. On the way back I met up with a friend and we went to the beach - by then an afternoon storm had filled the sky and taken the sting out of the sun. Still hot, though, so the swim was welcomed. We were at the wharf, there were a lot of kids just out of school jumping off the wharf. A lot of them had just come in on the school boat and not even been home - just jumped in as soon as the boat left. A few parents met the boat with the kids' swimsuits and towels. One was my neighbour - we chatted about our kids. Where we were was mostly out of sight, so her son could enjoy a swim without his mates thinking Mummy was nearby and watching out... kids are funny. I'm about to head down to mother in law's to get dinner cooking. husband is running late tonight, he had a lot to do and now has to endure the heat on the train system. Some of our trains are air-conditioned, but it's often not enough. And due to safety concerns, no train windows open, not even on the non-air-conditioned ones. The doors only open once the train is stationary. I remember when we were kids, we would have the train doors open in summer, to ventilate the carriage. I have a meeting tomorrow, but the place is air-conditioned plus there is an ice machine. Just what I need! I'll have a swim on the way home. For those of you dealing with snow and ice - incredible. Our news tonight said that over half the US is covered in snow and ice from this huge super-storm. I just found a news story - it said about half. Even so - that is terrible. Stay safe, all of you.
