heatwave

i don't like the heat. 41 today and 43 tomorrow and monday. i've just put the aircon on in the lounge room. it's ancient but seems to be working atm. of course having the bedroom upstairs is a major prob in the summer. if it's 43 outside at the end of the day it's about 5 degrees hotter up there. i shut it up all day and it's insulated but doesn't make much difference. usually i bring down the flipout sofa thingy and sleep down here but i haven't done that yet this summer. i have a fan on all night and put the aircon on for about an hour before i go to bed. can't sleep with it on coz it sounds like 10 tractors going full pelt. oh well bring on the change on tuesday i say. on another note completely i've just installed utubu on my son's computer. it's linux based and completely free to use. it's so different from windows but i like it. finding my way around it. uses firefox as the browser. and finally happy 75th birthday elvis. hahahaha

    You poor thing. We feel hot up here with 30C but 40C+ is rediculously hot. Is it humid too?

    hi Diane, humidity is quite low at 27% today. i'd rather have the hot tropical heat where at least it's a moist heat. my chilli plant was crisp yesterday. it came back to life after a drink last night. poor garden.

    I remember those days when it would be hotter inside then outside I am so glad that we now have air conditioning in the bedroom as it makes sleeping so much easier.

    Oh gosh, yes that is sure hot weather. I like it around 30deg and can sleep at night in the heat, guess I am lucky. Don't know how I would go with 40deg though.....hope you are coping well.
