What a heat wave
« on: January 28, 2009, 07:02:23 PM »

Boy is it hot down here in Melbourne. 43.2 Degrees and another 2 days of 40 Degree heat.

Even playing a game on the Medusa breaks out a sweat. I never thought I'd see the day when I'd have to take a cold shower after playing a pin  :D

Yeh - you guys got it stinking down there. Its been bloody humid here in Brissy of late ( today was OK though)
 working away downstairs the other night - my enamels were drying up on me as i painted and im dripping sweat on my work.

Keep in mind though - that whatever you guys get down south, we tend to get approx 3 days later and you can bet your arse that it will piss down the day before it hits - im a glassblower too - no aircon, just a fan that i can only run on low cos it disturbs the flame.

I am of course preparing to die...

yeah, nice timing for us - we shift house on Friday, both the little girls and Mrs Pinnies4me have gasto (try running a temperature in this weather), and I seem to have been the hold out to the bug - yeah right, sure to come down with it Friday morning!

I hang out for this sort of beach weather and I can't even take the girls out of the house!

I ventured into the garage and found a ramp I glued last night with 2 part epoxy - it's "separated".

Novus is like water

Nifti is warm, as if it was a baby's bottle

Madness !
