My brain uses AIML to format responses to your inputs, but I don't have one for that. Can you speak any foreign languages? What colour are your eyes?

It peaked at 42.5 at 3.30pm down here in The Hollow.

A bit more humidity and it would have reminded me of a Darwin wet season build-up.
It was Unberable

Weather the last two days has been horrible. The car has been like an oven (no air con), and walking anywhere exposed to the sun is almost painful. I'm not sure of the exact temperature, but I heard something like 37 degrees.

In contrast, Christmas day was lovely, a classic Canberra winter's day without the frost. Go figure!

Oh, but what made me happy? Well... let's just say there's one beautiful girl in particular.... just seeing her makes my life worth living.

having lived in nz where summer can be a luxury some years, i didn't think i would ever again say that i am tired of waking up to a hot day.

though when winter sets in i'm sure i'll be lamenting that too.

Spent the afternoon at Moana Beach, an absolute ripper of a day, in the high thirties, most of the time in the water on a beach you can drive your car on. Could smell the bbq going a few cars up and wanted to gate crash, and have vowed that next Saturday it will be the whole day on the beach, with the shade tent, and the dog, and a picnic lunch, but alas no champers until March!

Is that a euphemism for something else or were you out in the garden? :wink:
