As the title says, mercury is on the rise big time in Sydney today and in the North West where all of Gods People live it looks to rise over 44c
So, I have relos down and they are of the right age bracket to enjoy the finer things of life, like beer and scotch. So I think as it will be a warm one, drive to the airport with climate set to ice, come home via bottlo and butchers, spend whole day in the house catching up over afor mentioned beverages, maybe just maybe venture to the local for dinner or if it stays hot bbq, or if its that hot cook it in the oven
So what does everyone else do when it gets tooooooooo hot?
Enjoy

If it's too hot, fark the cooking; certainly not in the house. Potato salad, cold meat and beer.

Rob - is there room for 15???
I just got back from horse riding (thank the lord I went early in the morning). Now sitting at home in front of the fan. Our house is pretty cool and as long as I'm not having to do physical work, I don't mind the heat at all
Going to a big party tonight, and have all the prep work already done (frozen margarita slushie in a bucket)
So, I guess you could say I sit on my arse in front of a fan and drink alcohol when it's really hot
