Boy it is hot in Brisbane. It was about 36'C yesterday and it is even hotter today.

crank up the AC Alice and try to keep cool. It's winter here-very little snow though-very rare for January-temps have been in the 20's & 30's(F)-weird winter weather-usually by this time the snow banks are so high, you can't hardly see over them-fine by me though-don't mind no snow-the older I get the less I like it =O) ~linda~

No AC in my office or studio, only in the bedrooms.

Thanks for sharing, here (Belgium) it is winter. But no snow or cold so far

I'm from South Africa (Vaal Triangle) and it is VERY hot here as well this week, we urgently need rain here on the farm otherwise we will have trouble with feed for the cattle!! Hugs Louise

Oh no I had better call my 3 girls and see if they havent melted :(

Send me a little Alice, I am freezing right now! Our weather is a bit above average but by the end of the week the snow should be here!

That is about 96F and it is like breathing thick heavy air. Do whatever you can to stay cool and keep well hydrated. Do most have air conditioning in your area? After living almost to Miami, FL realized just how many only had a fan and no air conditioning.

We have aircon in the bedrooms but rarely use it, it is expensive to run. I just use the fan.

I will be in Ipswich on the (18th) hope the humidity isn't too bad then, it usually does me in.

Ipswich is usually hotter I think is was 39 or 40 yesterday - maybe this heat way will be over by the 18th

Yes it was 40 in Ipswich the day before yesterday, I am glad I don't live there anymore.

Yes Alice I have been in my sewing room under the fan on full for the last 2 days doing nothing other the on cute or surfing because it is too hot to move. have air con in the lounge but seems to make rest of the house hotter still so only use when in lounge and kitchen end of the house - I think the humidity is the killer as quite nice breeze outside - we thought summer would never come well here it is...hugs Sally

Sally i tried to call you today. Mabey the humming of machine droned out the phone :)

Can ya send some of that heat my way ???? I'd love it .. All though I must say our Jan , so far, has been very mild ... Thanks ... Jo

Old man winter has showed up here. Lots of rain and calling for snow tonight. Weatherman says stay home if you don't have to go out. Lots of accidents on the streets and highways. Texans don't know how to drive in bad weather. Enjoy your sunny days.

We are also having a ghastly heatwave. We need rain.

Alice, I will pray for a cooling down for you - in the meantime - stay indoors.
