I had an hour long train ride on a train that had no aircon.
That sucked the big one.

I stood outside for 15mins yesterday just chatting in the shade, and my back was saturated.
I was thinking of free balling it today at work, but dunno. Feels a little weird not having cloth separating ya bits from ya thighs. Especially on a leather chair. :

The Norlunga line was closed in Adelaide yesterday due to buckling of the lines as well. Crews apparently worked overnight to fix it up and all lines are back up and running again today.

I LMAO at the large amount of coverage this has been given. Over here in Perth, 40 degree temps is just known as 'Wednesday' LOL.
Year after year we see these kinds of temps over here and for once the winds have changed and the eastern states have gotten it and all of a sudden the cities are on the verge of shutting down (according to a recent News.com.au article)....LMAO

My business partner just went into the vacant office next to ours and decided to free ball the rest of the afternoon. :P
Yes, he has replaced his pants, and he has tucked his jocks away n his bag. This is what this heat has reduced us to. lol

I was laying inside a 7x5 trailer all afternoon fitting rollers for a slide out draw.
Worst thing was that it has a false floor ! Damn, that was hot. Driving home at 3pm and apparently it was 44 in Geelong then. Adam.
