Re the weather. Was a tad warm yesterday in my neck-of-the-woods in South Australia. Reached 47C. Cooler today. But it's summer in Australia so has to be expected. The heat comes and the heat goes. Irrespective of what people say about records having been broken, maybe they have but I can remember my other half years ago working out in the open on building sites with the temperature 118 F or thereabouts day after day. No knocking off because it was hot. Just strip to the waist and get on with it. 'You're in Australia, mate'.

We had no air conditioning in those days, didn't even have fans and anyway fans didn't work that well in the real heat, so often slept out-of-doors...with the TV on the front porch to watch during the evening. Wouldn't dare do that these days though because if we were still safe ourselves in the morning I'd guarantee the TV would have 'disappeared' in the night.
