You know it's hot when...

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

• Grass green is a distant memory
• Our Shetland members measure temperatures in double figures
• The bin men come an hour earlier (so 1pm, not 2)
• Your unpainted figures become 'soft'.
• Cheese sandwiches in your lunch box become toasties by 11sies
• Hosepipe use carries a prision sentence
• The washing-up bowl evaporates before you can pour it on the roses
• The cat and dog are fighting over the coldest floor in the house
• The figure you were repainting strips itself.
• Nobby is evicted from his home in the mess icemaker.
• The casting dwarves don't need the furnace
• Dave takes off his thick winter coat
• Leon isn't the only member of staff working when it's quiet at night
• Techno is allowed to mention his previous career as an ice sculptor on RMS Titanic

Carry it on...

• Paint dries on the brush, so you end up with what is basically a coloured pencil.
• You find interesting uses for ice
• The dog refuses to go out for a walk
• Ice Cream vans have red crosses painted on them
• You dare not walk outside barefoot
• That smell of frying bacon comes from the factor 50 on your forehead
• The old game of "it's lava" becomes real when you try to cross a tarmac road
• You have to wrap your hand in your shirt before you can touch the front door handle

- When manually cranking the chain to open the roller shutter for some fresh air makes you hotter than you were before.
- When the nice insulated office you built turns into a fully enclosed heat trap instead.
- When the shop is strangely the coolest room in the building but you can't print the orders from there...

Lads I feel for you..last year it was our turn...locally we got up to 45-46...the town of Lytton up to 49-50..set the heat record then had a fast moving fire go through town with 2-3 min warning to get out...burned the whole place down... a few days ago they got another fire started on the other side of the river..its grown quickly.  Wishing things cool down quickly & no fires start.

Feeling really sorry for the crew manning the moulding machines.

Imi has just added:
When you do an A level fine art mock, and your oil paint is sweating out of the tubes!

You can't touch the steering wheel of your car without getting third degree burns.
You can fry an egg on the bonnet of your car.
Birds start walking instead of flying.
Tradesmen finish work for the day at 11am.
Vallejo paint comes out of the paint bottle like a volcano.
You are glad you paid $5k for air conditioning.
Spiders die and reptiles appear.

Welcome to Australian weather guys.

Well where ever you are take care in the heat, stay inside and stay hydrated...... could you send some heat our way? 10degrees C with the wind chill factor and wind gusts to 100+ kph expected today with rain later..... just another soggy Wellington winter day🙂

I know that feeling!

When the paint dries on the palette before you can get it on the brush.

Ahh, you just can't beat Wellington on a good day.

I wish.  I could sleep at 22.  We got down to 25 by midnight but climbing to 26 at 04.30 and then beyond.    Still we will be back to moaning about the cold and wet before much longer and we are saving lots of ££ by not flying abroad to enjoy these temps.   

You know its hot when
 the bin men arrive at 6am to make doubly sure you are awake
 the postman looked so frazzled we gave him a cold drink
 the utility room with the boiler and all the electrics is the coolest room.  (normally hottest)
 you are dressed for the beach indoors all day
 you laugh back at folks who sniggered when you put up both blinds and curtains on the same windows

Well, you are living in the upside down.





Yes, I have just started watching Stranger Things. Only five years behind everyone else, as usual.

Often wonder how they hang on down there !
