You know it's hot when...

I still shudder to think of the school teacher I once heard explaining to a group of kids that gravity was an effect of the rotation of the planet. And he was a Brit, btw.

We got in the car to come to work today and the temperature read 45°C...!  It dropped a little as we drove to work but it's still at 38°C outside now. We'll have to get a themometer and see what it is in the office here.

This is not a day for working up on your tin roof.

Your Tesco order has only one missing item ... the ice cream.

... or, in my case, the strawberries.
Was looking forward to a nice bowl of cool strawbs with some freshly milled black pepper.

The roof is finally getting fixed at the end of this month, it's only been 8 months...

Vallejo paint comes out of the paint bottle like a volcano.

And I thought that was just me when I opened my Vallejo Gold earlier.

Ah! The joys of Centiheight and Fahrengrade.

Oddly, it was between 29 and 30 degrees in my dining area today, bet I was warmer than you Bill.

I feel for you all in Europe, zero degree in Melbourne, just taking ice off car!! ABC had a weather report from London, highlighting the issues you face in Britain. Take care

Welcome to Australian weather guys.

Dreaming of Aussie temperatures right now - my son lives in Melbourne and will be lucky to see 14c tomorrow.  It is so hot where I live near Cambridge that my wet palete dried out.

Had highs of 38*C here in the car, but my 1876 house has been a relatively benign 22-24*C.

Everything back to normal tomorrow, ~19*C forecast, so two days is a bit of a novelty really despite all the furour (which sells more newspapers and TV adds).
How the UK will cope when we get a block of 7 days like this, followed by two weeks of 10*C with floods, followed by another week of 40*C......

Vacated Waiting Room plastic chairs have Damp patches from sweaty nethers...Euw! 

Here in Northumberland, UK, Tuesday seemed slightly less hot than Monday... until evening, when felt a lot hotter! Ended up padding around in underpants... haven't felt need for that in maybe 12 years + !
Wednesday 11am... light overcast and felt COOL!  12.30 and HOT SUN! 

Annoying thing is that opening doors / windows...and you get Flies or Moths. I would hate to exist in a country that had serious Flies or Mozzies!
