[Ms Grace]

[megants]

Sent from Indonesia?

It should be, shouldn't it.............    Oh I'm so sorry our navy accidentally encroached into your sovereign waters, I promise it won't happen again......... Well at least until the next time...........   
Then we'll pretend to be quite contrite and say it was all a terrible mistake and won't happen again, until next time.....................................

This would have to be the biggest "con" job of the century, surely. Mr. Morrison is trying to tell us, our Navy is so hopelessly stupid not to know where they are at any one given time on the high seas?

Baulderdash. They know within a tenth of a metre, exactly, where they are. If they don't, they need some serious navigational retraining.

Oh we can launch cruise missiles, pity we don't know where we are. Send them right and a bit up, no a bit higher, looks good, launch!!

For heavens sake the Exmouth base tells the USA nuclear subs where they are.

[Ms Grace]

No no. You see the border lines are actually painted on the oceans but they keep moving around all the time because of the waves, so it's definitely not the navy's fault.

Aaaaahh. Now I understand. Thank you Grace. Sooooo Mr. Morrison isn't as stupid as he looks? As that would be seemingly impossible anyway.     Anyway you wouldn't see the painted lines at night, would you?

[Ms Grace]

Sooooo Mr. Morrison isn't as stupid as he looks?

That bit is still true... possibly stupider!

[Jenny07]

So back to topic.
What's happened to Summer!

Forecast all week like this!

I could comment on the above but better not as I know too much.

[Natkat]

It is so fing hot!!!!

Close to midnight in Adelaide and yet another day of over 35C, tomorrow 37C day after 38C, it has been like this for weeks.

Midnight, its 32C.

I can't keep running the airconditioning.

I realise you all feel sorry for me and I'll take comfort from that.

I understand your sympathy.

Hope you freeze.


Hee Heee


Cindy the sweat blob, who is very well known for not complaining.

I freeze indeed.
can you collect some of the heat and send it? I am getting kind of tired of this rainy-cloudy-cold weather. if we even get snow theres not enough to make a snowman then whats the point?

[Ms Grace]

Surely there must be a way to duct the heat north and the cold south. Ducts!!!

[megants]

There is meant to be rain on the way tomorrow for Canberra, hope so, just received our last water bill, yikes!!!!!!!!

SWMBO'd is a keen gardener and I must admit it is one of the few things she spends money on. I can't really begrudge her that, particularly as  I'm off gallivanting around the world.

My sympathies to the Adelaide contingent on this forum, it's been very unpleasant in the nation's capital but what we have had to put up with is nothing in comparison to what you have had to deal with. 

I'm reliably informed (by that unpatriotic news service called the ABC) that a cool change is heading your way, hope so.

Seems the only people who think the ABC are unpatriotic are the Liberal Party.. Always thought that was an odd name for a bunch of (radical) conservatives..

Adelaide weather!!!!!!

I read somewhere else that there is flooding in Adelaide and that it has been the wettest day in February for 40 years and more rain to come!

I hope all Adelaidians are safe and well.

[Jamie D]

I can tell you about southern California weather:

Chili today, hot tamale. 

[kelly_aus]

Yep, we've gone from scorching heat to the wettest Feb day in ages.. And yes, we've had flash flooding.

[LordKAT]

At least it is a break in the heat. Here the cold is easing up a bit, at least for a couple days. More snow though.

[ToniB]

Its still better than the Flooding that is affecting a large part of the UK LOL .we could do with the heat to dry out the waterlooged ground over here .They are predicting another Downpour of over a months rainfall in the next 24 hours .And I dont mean your lousy amount of rainLOL I mean our usual miserable winters rain

Anita with a splash

[LordKAT]

I'll take rain over snow any day.

[Rachel]

Philadelphia just got hit with another snow storm and a nor'easter is coming tonight.

This winter we have had -18 C temps, snow storms, ice storms and freeing rain. We had one ice storm hit during rush hour which was bad. We lost power for 3 days and many lost power for up to a week and the temps were below freezing. There is a area called New Hope that may have severe flooding tonight due to ice dams.

So, when I hear of 100 degree F temps in Australia, I can just wish. Can you send some warmth to the USA?
