Ok so on the Aussie Gardening post it is stated that a heatwave is coming ! Please tell me this isn't so. Even if it is just please tell me this isn't so. I feel like this is the hottest summer that I have ever lived through. How pleasant was it at times over Xmas to be living with 25/26 degrees. No complaints here.
Well it's Friday and a shorter work day. Roll on noon.
Do you have any plans for the weekend ? Whatever you do I hope you have a pleasant time. Cheers.

Edit. Ok panic over. I just had a look at next week's prediction and it's showing highs of 28. Wooo

I mean, low 30's with a billion percent humidity is the standard for us at this time of year, so we pretty much are always in a heatwave ๐Ÿฅต

Well yes mate so when I read that there was "going to be a heatwave next week" I wasn't pleased. But yeah it turns out that's for Victoria, 40 degrees. Yummmmm.

I'll take 40 with very low humidity over early 30s with all the humidity every time?

Hey I hear you. I'm not arguing any points here. I'm from Northern England and it's taken a fair bit to get used to things here. However I don't believe too many people ever get used to it. I'm not a fan of the cold either, and having somewhat acclimatised I find the "winters" up her a bit uncomfortable at night and early morning. The days are magnificent though.

Oh yeah, you never get used to the heat here, hahaha, sweaty swampy mess every summer lol. How long you been in this neck of the woods?
