You think it’s hot! Well let tell you a few years ago when our friend from Clayton-le-Moors came to stay with us here in South Australia for a short holiday it was 45 degrees when he got off the plane!!!!! Was like that for days – now THAT’S hot.

Unfortunately it was just after some idiot had decided to park his car (well his dad’s as it turned out) along our front verandah using the house wall as a brake, and almost went right through into the house…...made a bit of a mess to put it mildly. Had gone through our neighbour’s front fence, past his garden, and then done a quick left taking out verandah posts, dividing fence, bricks from front of house and most importantly the new air-conditioner that was fitted in the window.

As we were unable to fit another air-conditioner until the front of the house had been fixed our friend had to put up with portable fans that didn’t cool the place much by then – and he didn’t complain once!!!!!!! I guess they breed ‘em tough in Clayton.
