I had an hour long train ride on a train that had no aircon.

That sucked the big one.

I had that yesterday morning on the way in to work. Even at 8am in the morning it sucked. Thankfully today the aircon was working on the old 2000 class carriage I was in.

might want to start watering the garden - i've got a feeling this heats gonna be travelling north.. 23deg at 8:30am this morning in north sydney so its not gonna cool anymore for the rest of the week! compared to yesterday its gonna be a stinker anyway. yep probably about 30.. lol

I feel for ya russ - i hate the trains without aircon in summer - people pass out in them in sydney in the afternoons since you can barely move in them anyway during peakhour..

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

Even when 40's, you guys are blessed with the "Dr" each arvo, which makes a massive difference.

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.
