Hey darling! Sydney at that temp is not a liveable city. Bah! For once I am not going to one-up your hot - we finally got a cold change and a wonderfully stalled weather front, and a missing month's worth of rain in around 16 hours (along with floods etc). It's been lovely. I actually went and walked in it at around 8pm last night with C and C - rumours that I was seen dancing in puddles and singing 'Singing in the Rain' are not greatly exaggerated.

Wish I could send it your way, but it appears to be heading for NZ instead. I will endeavour to will it northwards.

I think the quickest source of relief close to you would be to sneak down to the fishmarkets and crawl into their cold rooms (don't mind the smell).

How are the fires going? BoM said the amount of energy involved in our weather this last month (from ridic hot to ridic wet and cold) is both exceptional and ridiculously high. Also, NOT NORMAL.

*concentrates fiercely on sending weather to you*
