Heat in Melbourne !!!

OMG !!! The hot weather here in Melbourne is just awful , hot , hot , hot and no relief in site at all , i can't remember such continuing hot dry weather for a long time , no cool changes at all , the water bill to keep the garden alive is going to be horrendous , water tanks dried up long ago . Maybe you Queenslanders can send down just a little bit of your rainy weather please !!!!

Awe maree, I know what you mean, here in Perth its been extremely hot, flipping terrible. in a couple of days we are back up to 37, unfortunately March is always a very hot month. So I do sympathize with you.

Would be glad to send you some of our torrential rain!

Yes please!!!!!!!!! I'm sick of watering, and just sick of the heat altogether.

It is raining everyday here. I love the rain! It's getting really cool early too, much earlier than previous years if I remember correctly.

oh dear, maree - just spotted this alert in Weatherzone

Betsy, everyone here just looks exhausted, people dragging themselves around. Hot nights means little/no sleep. Usually we have a cool change to revive but not this summer. Autumn is my favourite season but not so far. I refuse to have air con, because I hate it, but I may revise that...
Some of the roses are just churning out their flowers though.

Bugger this weather Betsy , i reckon Tassie is looking pretty good at the moment ,Silky i was like you , didn't want to get a air con , but i got one and i love it !!!

Air conditioning, dishwashers and contact lenses, IMO, trump fast cars, mobile phones, and HD TV ;-)

Air con - no
Dishwasher -Me or the kids if they are home
Contact Lenses - Just got a new set of specs
IMO - ??????
trump fast cars - Yep the Triton's a rocket - NOT
mobile phones -in my work you can't live without them
HD TV - Try buyng one that is no HD (don't bother HD is a lot better). If you meant larger screen then no our 32" one does fine

Roses for my girls - yep

Hey, I think fast cars, moble phones and HD tv are wonderful things! What I meant was that say, if I had to give up the airconditioning to get a Lamborghin, it would be NO Deal. Silky, you need some aircon, darlin'

HD Tv is no big deal to me. Is it to anyoone? I am sort of put off now by seeing every pore in an actor's face. Contact lenses are life-changing..

Mobile phone would be very hard to part with. I live on mine. Still, if someone thresatened to take away my beloved dishwasher, I'd hurl the phoen at them.

Um... A rose? Make it two dozen ;-)

Betsy , i'm with you , love my dishwasher and air con , and cars , well their something you just drive from A to B , big TV's are great for watching the footy though !!!!

You're not going to believe this, but I have no aircon OR dishwasher (there's only the 2 of us) and I hate mobile phones so hardly use mine. Drives people mad but I don't care. I'm such a luddite!
The porsche just sits in the driveway all day (hahaha NOT). Trusty Toyota x4WD is old but gets me around.
Never been one for material things...I know, weird.

Silky , i think you deserve a gold star award thats for sure , no dishwasher or aircon , well done !!!

We re at Wantirna Caravan Park at present and spending the day at the Austin Hospital - going from heat, heat, heat to the airconditioning at the hospital where our grandson is.
The caravan is full of warm clothes as we expected the weather to be like Toowoomba at least. Toowoomba was 24 degrees yesterday and again today.

Well global warming did predict that northern parts of Australia would get wetter and that southern Australia would get drier , hang on to your warm clothes though Bonita cause Melbourne does have changeable weather usually and we are just dying for a cool change lol ...

Don't break out the woolies just yet. The forecast for Melbounre for the first three days this week is now 36, 36, and 33 degrees, respectively. Cool change coming Thursday.

Pretty much a continuation of February weather. Not unusual. You get used to it. At least the days are getting shorter.

In this household we have all the things everyone else has,
Air-conditioner = windows
Car = Mazdaratti, previously a Mylux
Dishwasher = My lovely wife Carole
HD TV = yes because we had to
Mobile = yes, in case my Carole needs me
Washing machine, yes, rocks on side of river, I told you Carole is good
Dryer, clothes line/sun

I suppose Carole also rubs sticks together to make fire. Who needs them new fangled matches when Carole's around, eh?

Positively curMUDGEEeonly.

Good one Betsy lol !!!

I didn't want to mention that Betsy, but seeing you have, ok, then the cat now is really out of the bag.
