I just given birth to Archie and had suffered a terrible and long recovery with a spinal block headache for weeks. One of the days we all piled in the car and drove 2 and half hours to Canberra to take my mind of it. So I know where you are coming from. I am praying for you that it cools down and you all stay safe.Zenahttp://twigsandtwine.blogspot.com.au/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556636739806282968.post-36306030483749701642014-01-04T17:36:45.600+10:002014-01-04T17:36:45.600+10:00Thanks for your comments everyone.

The shopping centre was packed. Lots of people were just sitting around obviously trying to keep cool. We have always been able to cope just with our ceiling fans in the heat as our summers aren't normally this hot but having a number of days with such extreme heat has proven to be very hard to cope with. I can't wait till Tuesday when the temps will really drop.Nanna Chelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07500527266771727074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556636739806282968.post-73582230893020753472014-01-04T14:01:00.737+10:002014-01-04T14:01:00.737+10:00Yep.

Usually the wide eaves, loads of cross-flow ventilation, and ceiling fans are more than adequate. Motivation - nil. The storms have all gone around us and the little rain we've had is all out being adequate for a day's watering. Won't be sorry to see summer long gone. Really feeling for the elderly, sick and the animal world who are really doing it tough, and the farmers of course.<br />Maddie<br />Love the photo with the bee, too.

Keeping all the animals cool is number one priority.<br /><br />Hope it cools down soon for you.Roots and Seedshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11496050725815960078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556636739806282968.post-76165194663680416322014-01-04T10:41:01.045+10:002014-01-04T10:41:01.045+10:00Bring on the cooler weather.

I've just been down potting up cuttings of a neighmour's frangipani branches that were knocked down in the storm the other night. I also subscribe to the spray bottle, or wet face cloth; we do have a portable air con but it barely keeps up. Hope you're ok today and that the cool change is a good one for us all. I feel for the farmers out west trying to save stock and crops.<br />BarbBarbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15511242657757784812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556636739806282968.post-51632791396415135622014-01-04T09:30:07.747+10:002014-01-04T09:30:07.747+10:00Oh I hope your heat wave passes.

We had days before Christmas which were over 40 & it nearly killed me getting organised for Christmas.

At the moment there is a lovely breeze but we will have to shut the house up soon to keep the cool air in and the hot air out.

That dahlia is beautiful with its two toned petals. The animals tend to really suffer the heat just before christmas I had to bring my bunnies inside as one was heavily pregnant and she end up having a litter of four inside, so hence I still have her inside in an indoor cage until the bunnies are big enough to move out. I hope it cools down a little for you soon xxSharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04956302484387429985noreply@blogger.com
