Hmmm, sent the chill over here now that you've had enough of it ..Mike?
No snow in this area, but there will be a few frosts in these mountains this winter. Frost kills off the tops of Gum trees and makes them look like they are starved for water.
Frosts are melted by 8AM, so no evidence left on roof tops, or in the fields... Still, damn cold by Queensland standards.

Mike, I've got the wicked witch of the west trying to huff and puff and blow your house down with cold air. Damn, mixing my metaphors.

[mikeref]

Hey there 750. We may have the edge during summer on our friends up North, however, they will beat us hands down during Winter
Was just below 10 C in the mountains here last night, teeth chattering... and it will only get colder. Brrrrr!!
Have to clean the spider webs off my Kero heater, and the ASHP should be given a run to make sure i don't freeze on the sure to be soon, 2 degrees c nights..

10C.....luxury......when we were young, and it was -35C, we had to get up in the morning before bedtime lick the streets clean, while our fathers beat us with frozen rubber strips, then go to school.......

enjoying a good glass of Chateau de Chasselas there Mike?

[Moneyhell]

I'm looking forward to it cooling off in the UK.

It's all a bit mad as we forget what summer is like!

[djbe]

Only a few days of heat and moaning already

Wait and see it continues, if it does the follow up's will keep us going throughout the winter because the punters generally don't plan maintenance even if recommended.

Yes, but you tell the young kids of today how tough we had it when we were young and they won't believe you.....

See the Vikings post in the 3,000,000, Sainsburys contract. Speaks right to it.

Yeah? That's nothing. When i was a lad, the summer heat was sooo bad...that the hot water system tap was the better choice when having a shower, as the cold water tap delivered mostly steam.. and.. the ceiling fans breeze tended to singe my bed sheets at night...
OH, NO!!. No domestic air-conditioners were available here at that period of time.. unless you were filthy rich.

Hi Mikeref
That's not hot, when I was young it was so hot we had to wear asbestos shoes to walk to school and we couldn't touch anything without asbestos gloves.

Unlike the younger generation today with air-conditioned school buses and classrooms. I had to ride my push bike 20 minutes to get to school, rain, hail, or roasting hot. 2nd degree burns, from the radiating asphalt was a daily event.
Those were the days.. but the kids still won't believe me HaHa!!

[sedgy]

yes you chaps, = the good old days ?=sedgy

[mikeref]

Time for another beer Sedgy and remember the hard, but good old days..( i'll have a rum thanks)
Not like some.. that might have strapped their school books to their feet, to prevent frost bite while walking to school in the "Northern" winter months

Luxury, we had to get up before we went to bed, and if you told the kids today they would not not believe you!
