    Nice idea, but it's getting unbearable. It's hit 33C in the building and slowly climbing. Unless the fan is directly pointed at you all the time, it's not having the desired cooling affect.

    The thing that sucks about all this heat are the cracks appearing in my walls, mostly up around the ceiling. Plus my doors are jamming and the locks aren't lining up

    55 homes were lost during the fires in Perth. Its nice to see the sporting fraternity step up and help those in need.

    I'm just getting so sick of this heatwave. Last night it got to the point I couldn't sleep at all! I'm one of those cautious people when it comes to using my air conditioner due to electricity bills and I was an idiot to not have used it when I could've in order to have slept soundly.

    I'm hoping you people are doing a lot better than me.

    I hate when I get home from work at 7 PM and to go to jump in the pool to cool off and it's like a bath tub

    On the plus side at least I don't get that horrifying moment when the cold water first hits the "sensitive" areas of the body

    Sweltering. Stuck inside a moving hot tin can for another 40mins.

    Found one of the best places to go to on a hot day, ice skating rink. Went there last night in tshirt and shorts. Was awesome til I had to leave lol, but at least it was 8.30pm so was slightly cooler outside than previous.

    OH&S probably has a few things to say about working in excessive heat as well.

    Well I feel justified in how obsessed I've been with running the drippers and sprinklers during the heatwave.

    The dam was empty and I was getting it filled this morning. Due to it being empty I couldnt do my morning watering and so we took Orion to the park and then to visit his Grandmother.

    Came home just before noon - my fruit tree's were all looking like they were dying, the corn was frizzling etc etc - and this is all from missing ONE water!

    Fricken heatwave! 4th day in a row of 45 here - and they say it will drop down to only 39 tomorrow - oh joy.

    My challenge to myself is to not lose one tree or plant to the heat this summer - it's cutting close as I have two tree's which look like they are ready to cark it at any moment

    Traffic lights bugged out at major intersection, all hell breaks loose trying to get through there.
