This article talks a bit about what I was talking about, regarding that reading of 57C, and more.  Both my mum and myself suffered from the early signs of heat stress – headaches and dizziness – but it didn’t get any worse, thankfully.  Tomorrow is only meant to be about 41C/105F, so… that’s good?

Dear gods, Melrick. Stay safe. That is just becoming ridiculous, really. 

Summer’s a great time to visit Australia!  There’s a 50/50 chance you won’t die of heat exhaustion!  Those are good odds, if you ask me.

Autumn is a pretty reasonable time to come over (well, I’m a bit south of BW).

You know that if I come in summer, I’ll be weeping and melting and hogging the air conditioner… and if I come in winter, I’ll be whining about the freaking cold, since Nuncle did tell me that the winter feels a lot colder over there, even if the temperature is just balmy per Icelandic standards  So, we’ll see, when I visit  giggles at my expense are guaranteed either way  

Hope you had a good one, CL!

Now that’s how it’s done!

I’m starting off the new year with a few pounds of pork loin in the smoker… should be good.

We were at Hedo II. Really, really nice place…
 

Neko-baby, you are going to either love or hate your visit here…
If we have a cool late spring, you’ll be dancing, and if it’s warmer, well… air conditioning, baby. That’s what we’ll do. We’ll hide at the lake and you can have the bedroom with the air conditioner.

oh, we pull out the shorts the moment we hit 9°C… and honestly, bikinis are a go at the pool all year around… We’re Icelandic… we eat ice cream in -10°C and worse  

@WillowDarkling  Ditto when I lived in Seattle, though the threshold seemed to be closer to 50F  (~10C).

In Iceland 18°C is shorts, tank and bikini weather  

@BronxWench  I decided to not google search for that at work… looks lovely!  (Too bad my passport’s expired….)

@Melrick *instantly melts*
No, wait… playing aside. That temperature! How can you tell the difference between summer and the end of the world? It’d be spontaneous human combustion for me. I’ve cooked merigues at lower temperatures than that.

@pippychick You’re right, I’ve never seen snow before.  And I won’t be seeing it this Sunday, either; the predicted temperature here is 110F.

I would consider skinnydipping if I was in Negril, at the nude beach...

Or a snowman...

Running naked in a snow storm builds character.

*looks dubious*
 

Wine is always a win!

I stopped by the store on the way home for a lemon…. the crowds looked worse than a hurricane!  It’s only predicted to be several inches of snow.

@CL Mustafic  Hope the day has been going well.  (I’m now home, so better keyboard    )

Stay safe and warm and have a glass or 10 of wine. I don’t envy you one bit. 

Thank you all for the birthday wishes! I have wine so I’m calling the day a win!
