Heat
« on: November 19, 2009, 05:45:12 am »
I've just been looking at SA weather sites. ILB I see that it is 40 in Wangaratta.  Poor you. Ceduna is 45.  I'm glad I'm not driving through it.
We are thinking of you as it continues to rain here!.

We are supposed to get that rain at the weekend Cookie1 - fingers crossed.  It's not so bad when you know a cool change is coming.

Hang in there.
They say we'll be getting some summer early next week. :P

Poor grapes at Milawa.  Hopefully the Whitalnds will fare better.  Can't wait for some real summer weather - it was 30 degrees overnight here.  :o :o :o :o

What a dreadful night. You would need your summer pj's and air con or at least a ceiling fan.

Yes, had to wear PJs as stepdaughter and grandson were staying over.  But have individual aircons in each room - so safe.

Thank God for airconditioning.  I'm over summer already - and guess what it hasn't even started!!!!!!

Roll on cool change.

It is certainly an early heatwave.  We hit 30 here today which was hot enough with Tassie's lack of humidity.  The AC may get it's first run of the season tomorrow!

Just spotted this thread. Yes HOT!!!! We had 40C today and although tomorrow was supposed to be 36 I see now they've up'd the ante and made it 41C  ;)  :-[ :-[ :-[

Too damn hot for anything!! Today I left Bimby at Miss 3's day care and popped by at lunch time and whizzed up some banana/strawberry sorbet for the kidlets for a cool down. (I work only a few km's away from there so very handy!!) Tomorrow I'm supposed to be prepping for the Corowa and Wang cooking classes  :-\ so don't like the idea of the oven being on  :o

To top it of Miss 3 has come down with a bad cold and is still calling out in her sleep. Hopefully stiill ok to ship off to daycare cos I just cant have her at hoe and get everything else done. When she's feeling like that it's hardly fare to take her out in that heat to run errands!

Sorry a bit off topic but all heat related.

So I sympahise with anyone else stuck in this disgustingly early heat! What happened to Spring this year??

At least it's back in the midish 20's on the weekend for the cooking classes!!!  ;D ;D ;D

You're right Thermomixer - not good for the grapes. At about 32 or 36C the vines actually shut down and don't ripen the fruit (all part of mother natures way of preserving the plant). Up to there it's a very fast ripening process.

I'm feeling very sorry for all you SA'ns. Particularly the farming community. I believe there's been crop fires...  And here we are with rain preventing us from starting harvest.  :-\
A great cook is one who can rustle up a fabulous family meal with some freezer burnt chops, wilted carrots, sprouting potatoes and cabbage that's gone brown on the cut edges.

Yes we got 6mm here last night but other areas probably got a lot more.  We are always lower at North Haven.  Cool enough to wear a cardigan today but loving it.

Very glad. Now so many of you have fires to contend with.
