Urrrrrr ...

It is 41.5 degrees C, which is over 100 in the old money. If you hear nothing further from me, it is because I have melted. I make note that it is not yet summer.

*giggly snort*
I can imagine the look on Mr Brammers's face!

Everything still abysmally soggy down here, but quite warm too (yes, yes, warm for a Tasmanian spring). Fruit flies and mosquitoes breeding in unholy numbers, house rapidly becoming submerged in rampant greenery, that sort of thing.

:O Oh my GOD.

And some people still say climate change isn't real?!??
Also, that sounds worryingly like the kind of tenmperature that could kill you if you went out in it. Although I know nothing about that sort of temperature.
*sends you rain clouds from Sheffield*

I hope you're ok :-S

I think I should fly north for the summer. It's 9pm and I'm dripping. The study with the 'puter has no aircon, and though I feel a flutter of breeze outside, in here it's still and thick and wet. How's your ice holding up?
Yippee! 21 degrees tomorrow.

Where did my Spring go??? It has hit at least 42 degrees here four days running (48.5 by lunchtime Friday)but my new favourite website Weather.com promises a max of 23 tomorrow. If it knows what is good for it it had better not be lying!!! *gives it the evil eye*

I have been very grateful for my a/c which I am lucky I do not have to leave for any length of time.

*joins group lining up to do that rain and cool change dance*

P.S. Are you sure you can't squeeze an adult human person into your case for your euro trip? Freezing cold rain and snow sounds like heaven right about now.

It's been pretty hot up here the last week or so. When I'm at work, I'm in a tin demountable building with no a/c only a ceiling fan. I need to have the fan on full pelt for it to even make a difference, if I have the windows closed it makes it worse.

Stay cool, maybe find a local indoor swimming pool or something, maybe invest in one of those portable air coolers that you fill with iced water to make cool air.

VILE. AFTER 10 AND STILL VILE.

[identity profile] blamebrampton.livejournal.com 2009-11-22 11:33 am (UTC)(link)
They promised me a change at 10. IT IS STILL NOT HERE! DAMN THEM!

I could not come to your house, because I would have died, and you would have missed me.

Seriously, i walked out my front door once and then realised i have a/c and should revel in it.

[identity profile] blamebrampton.livejournal.com 2009-11-22 11:43 am (UTC)(link)
I sat with J in the study in front of the cooler and sewed on buttons and made bracelets. WHERE IS OUR COOL CHANGE???

[identity profile] deensey.livejournal.com 2009-11-22 11:45 am (UTC)(link)
They stole it. I don't know who they are, but i'm getting on it.

I have no idea how it's supposed to drop by tomorrow by so much.

That's just inhuman.

Mr Brammers has a portable cooler in the study, but I usually work out in the living room where there is more space. I might give up on that plan if this continues ... The BOM promised a cool change I hope you get it, too!

And yes, I need a good swim!

[identity profile] blamebrampton.livejournal.com 2009-11-22 11:48 am (UTC)(link)
I can only assume there will be an almighty change sweeping through sometime soonish. And beat them for me!

[identity profile] blamebrampton.livejournal.com 2009-11-22 11:49 am (UTC)(link)
CRAZINESS! Yes, if the weather sites are all lying, there will be hell to pay tomorrow!

And alas, no, I have Pingrid's Fluevogs, which are taking up much of my suitcase ;-)

That pool sounds so good ... If there was no fire danger at the moment I would have dragged us up to the Hawkesbury where there is a wonderful old dam that is lovely and cold, too!

And yeah, fingers crossed for Kandos ...

That's just insane. Do you at least live in or near a desert?

Sydney was all rich grass plains and temperate rainforest, once. Now it's mostly concrete and tarmac, and we wonder where the rain went ...

Thanks, dear! We are talking about popping down over the Christmas break, when I get back, so you and I can have a big photo binge.

Bring on that change!

[identity profile] blamebrampton.livejournal.com 2009-11-22 12:21 pm (UTC)(link)
We are having alleged rain this month. 'With late showers' means 12 second of heavy splatter, followed by nothing. I hate the weather!!!

I hope things look up for you, too. I;m going to finish replying to comments and then go out and see if that change is anywhere to be found.

Tassie warm is horrible: it's your UV that makes you feel every jot of it. I am sure that the verdant theme will be delightful at some point, but filled with mozzies and fruit flies, it sounds like Brisbane ...

Good god. *wishing hard for a cool change for you*

[identity profile] blamebrampton.livejournal.com 2009-11-22 01:14 pm (UTC)(link)
I hate those people!

It's not a good temp to try and do anything in. Luckily, people act sensibly, the village was pretty much deserted today, aside from people going to the bottle-shop for ice or deli for sorbet ...

*Thanks you for your lovely rain clouds*
*Encourages them to actually rain*

Halfway through the first bag of ice, and I've not even resorted to sticking it in a bag and slapping it on my head yet ;-)

THE CHANGE HAS ARRIVED! I am going to stay up for a bit to cool the house down before I lock it up for the night. And YES! COOL! If you fly north, I'll see you there ;-)

It sounds to me like it is time to move, no one should have to endure temps like that outside of a sauna.

[identity profile] blamebrampton.livejournal.com 2009-11-22 01:59 pm (UTC)(link)
It's just arrived! It's nearly 1am, but I am going to wait for a little so that I can leave the house open for a bit to cool it down. There's a breeze coming down the hall – ah ...

[identity profile] blamebrampton.livejournal.com 2009-11-22 01:59 pm (UTC)(link)
I feel there will be worse to come ...
