Ooh my wordy lordy, yes I am.
Apologies, and I owe ya one. I just wanted an excuse to post pictures of some beaut watering holes.
Cheers Mate, and I hope the Doctor gets there soon to cool things down for you. It's been lovely here.
I hope so too, but it looks like it's going to stay hot/get hot again. I just hope the airconditioner can hold up to being run 24/7 and that the power doesn't go off.

Australia is a hell-hole. 43 degrees yesterday, 42 today - this isn't weather, this is baking.
16 yesterday, 25 today.

I've enjoyed the cool break after the 40+ days we had last week. I wonder if the heat wave in the West will head our way.
We seem to be having a bit of everything lately.
Maybe I should get on a plane to Melbourne....

On the Beach - 1959
Melbourne - the perfect place to make a film about the end of the world.

1959? Had Perth been discovered then?
I hope no furriners are reading this.

Sure, and it's still 1959 here (well, there's some sort of time difference between us and the eastern states...)

Don't mention the AC on an AGW thread.
I predict: "Yes"
Well, we (I anyway) am in Melbourne - we often get everything every day.

Me too. I've had the [ecologically friendly device for modestly regulating room temperature] set to heat and cool within a few hours some days. 20 degree swings.
Thanks for the tip. I don't want to be ostracized for having an airconditioner, only for being an annoying idiot.Don't mention the AC on an AGW thread.
Has Queensland foregone the evils of daylight saving as well?

Me? I don't care. I love it when they yell at me, but I'd rather be cool on a 40C day than not.

Yeah, And as inconvenient as it is sometimes, I think both Qld and WA have made the best decision for themselves. Those two states are on the verge of spanning two time zones as it is, and while I can see that people in Brisbane might like to have the Sun still up at 9 pm, I doubt if the folks in Mount Isa would appreciate daylight at 11 pm.
And that's just the East-West effect.
The fact that both states cover both tropical and temperate areas is another difference between them and the little Southern states. (I'll get flak from Sydney and Adelaide for that remark) Daylight saving is pretty pointless in the tropics.
Having said that, I think people should get over the whole clock-time enslavement that they suffer now and do what most of us out in the sticks do regardless of the clock - if the Sun is up, you do daytime stuff, and when it goes down, you do nighttime stuff. The only reason you have a clock is so you know when the ABC News is on.
Even the cows understand that system, and your curtains fade at exactly the same rate.
