Today has been the hottest day we've had for a very long time. In fact we've now seen the hottest July since 1911 :eek:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/cbbcnews/hi/newsid_5190000/newsid_5190700/5190704.stm

Its really been too hot to do much of anything, so have just been misting the fids on a very regular basis, every half hour or so. and they have loved it. Tomorrow is supposed to be a little cooler but by Friday we are back to the hot hot weather again. Hopefully it will be cool enough for me to get all my work done.

Hope you are all having some nice weather.

Our heat kinda fizzled today too. It's a bit muggy, lots of clouds, but not very hot.

Bill what are your winters like over there. I love Austrailia but think I would melt in the heat of your Summers. Its bad enough here at the moment.

The heat here has been unbearable, you can't move without sweating buckets, can't just sit still, and certainly can't cook anything, We are just not used to the temperatures that we've been getting just lately.

I don,t like the weather much where I am. In summer it gets hot and I mean hot. during january-feb it can get up to 40 degrees no worrys at all. on average it stays about 38c or so.And it snows a little in winter but not much hardly covers the ground. Victoria is located in the south east corner of Aus.I think I want to north where it stays about 26 degrees c all year round aaaahhhhhhhh paradise. :cool: :)

Bill your nearly there with the conversion, Today is even hotter. We had my son's sports day and boy was that hot, So hot that even sitting in the shade I look like a very ripe tomato. Those poor kids tried so hard but by the end of the afternoon everyone looked really ill and tired. They should have called it off I think.

Ah well only one more school day left then the kids are on their Summer holiday, Yeah, no more alarm clocks for about 6 1/2 weeks. Lay in late. YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
