...cause we'd love it here right now.

5 days straight of temps over 40'c [43 yesterday and it's just hit 40'c (11am) ]..19 days in a row of temps over 30'c. I know I live in the driest state in the driest continent on earth, but this is getting to be really insane.

The bike riders doing the Jacob's Creek Tour Downunder are nutters...they rode here in that yesterday...one poor bugger fell off his bike from heat stroke and hit the gravel on the side of the road and then the bitumen [which would have been as hot as hell]...luckily he will be okay but had to spend the night in hospital.

And what's with these lunatics who go to the beach in weather like this...truly mad people who ought to be locked up for their own good...aussie beaches are truly magnificent...but there is nothing more stupid than going down to one when the temps are like this and there is no cloud cover...we live in the country with the highest incident of skin cancers in the world, and still people insist on being out there...idiots.

So...we'll gladly take the snow off your hands right now.
