    Ok so on the Aussie Gardening post it is stated that a heatwave is coming ! Please tell me this isn’t so. Even if it is just please tell me this isn’t so. I feel like this is the hottest summer that I have ever lived through. How pleasant was it at times over Xmas to be living with 25/26 degrees. No complaints here.
    Well it’s Friday and a shorter work day. Roll on noon.
    Do you have any plans for the weekend ? Whatever you do I hope you have a pleasant time. Cheers.

    Edit. Ok panic over. I just had a look at next week’s prediction and it’s showing highs of 28. Wooo

      I mean, low 30’s with a billion percent humidity is the standard for us at this time of year, so we pretty much are always in a heatwave 🥵

        Well yes mate so when I read that there was “going to be a heatwave next week” I wasn’t pleased. But yeah it turns out that’s for Victoria, 40 degrees. Yummmmm.

          I’ll take 40 with very low humidity over early 30s with all the humidity every time?

            Hey I hear you. I’m not arguing any points here. I’m from Northern England and it’s taken a fair bit to get used to things here. However I don’t believe too many people ever get used to it. I’m not a fan of the cold either, and having somewhat acclimatised I find the “winters” up her a bit uncomfortable at night and early morning. The days are magnificent though.
