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.
People think I am rabid about climate change because I am a lefty ratbag. Au contraire, I am a moderate who is presented with overwhelming evidence of climate change on a daily basis. And I don't like it!
Mr Brammers and I went to Tasmania when we were in our early years together and he leapt out of the car on Mt Wellington (tallest moutain in Hobart) to plunge his hands into a snowdrift, whereupon he leapt back, shrieking 'IT'S REALLY COLD!'
He is from Queensland and northern New South Wales, so I believe he had seen snow exactly twice beforehand.
