        Morning. We don't turn it on unless we go over 30c ... so may do later. It is a heat unit too. I lived in Alabama for 14 years and that was sticky heat ... at least it is dry here.

              The forecast is for sunny spells with some cloud. It is, of course, the other way round so far but comfortable for me to nip out in a minny and plant the veggies that were rained off yesterday.

              In Belgium heat was always humid which made me comfortable to garden up to 23C but not so much when hotter. Here, we nearly always have dry heat and I can function up to 30ish with lots of sunscreen.

              Heatwaves here are regularly around 40C in the shade which I thought was hot when we visited Uluru in 2001. We retreat indoors and put the shutters down. The house was built by farmers in 1930 and the wall are about 2'/60cm thick and made from local stone so, as long as we keep the sun out, the rooms stay fairly cool.

                    It is sunny and calm. Currently 42f 5c and the guessers say it will be going up to 70f 19c. Another perfect day!

                          Got to 36,4c, so now 33c and have come in for light meal (part-baked rolls, cheeses and white onions) ... sat out in the front shade of house (East facing) for 90 minutes fresh air and breeze. A/c went on at 35c. Apparently same tomorrow ... then we go back to mid/high 20s. :fingers crossed:

                            Had a couple of light showers earlier, but just had a fairly heavy one so soaked again just in time for the snails to come out.
                            Temperature dropped considerably in that heavy shower and its cold at 13c.

                            Not looking good for the next two days either.

                              They promised us thunderstorms for the afternoon and evening but we have only got a very light drizzle. I've been having to use the sprinkler on the veggies.
