Thanks to all of you for your thoughts and trying to keep us cool with your lovely snow pics. Just to update everyone: Yesterday Adelaide was named the hottest city on earth, even though we only reached 44C. but in our back yard the temp rose to 47.5C Today with the change coming in from the south west and the winds rising there has been 33 fires in South Australia and many across the border in Victoria. Sadly one person has died in a fire and several houses have been destroyed. The temp has dropped 10degrees in the last hour so that cool change will arrive sometime tonight. Hopefully with some rain to douse all the fires as well.
Yes we do have air conditioning which has kept our house reasonably cool this past week.
There was a great story on the news tonight: a 92year old lady was interviewed about how she keeps cool without aircon. The boss of one of our large stores saw the report and donated an air conditioner to her. Lovely!
There has been 275 people admitted to hospital suffering heat stroke.
