OK last time it was 46C and so hot birds were falling out of the sky. Now it is so damn cold I saw a kangaroo put a hot water bottle in its pouch.

1C tonight what the &%^$#@!^&%$#

So I guess this is a bad time to say I was outside not half an hour ago without a jacket because I was hot?

I went for my run this morning and thought I wouldn't need my op, the things would just drop off

That wasn't a hot water bottle it was our scotch!  The locals are getting out of hand.  Where is the respect?

Cindy,

Hahaahah... Might have needed a rubber band to help there as well... :P

No scotch at my place... Was given two bottles of whiskey though in two days.  Is that a hint? O.o

Well someone who will remain anonymous cracked a bottle of Octomore for me. I think that was a hint :embarrassed: :laugh: >:-)

Ebil.

I'm staying away from Johnny Black for now... Unless whiskey is medicinal and helps with URTIs

Some prefer a good glass of red with roo but I prefer a straight scotch.  Now where did I put the other bottle?

No respect here.  Family legend has it I was run out of Yass let's see if I can make state
Cindy I have a full bar load of winter warmers that I don't use any more that would cheer you up next time you come this way. For medicinal purposes only of course

Honey I used to get through two bottles a night - not anymore. I like a sip now and again. Better ways to get warm!

Booze doesn't actually make you warmer - you just think you are.  A couple winters ago a friend of a friend was really drunk, her car got stuck and she though she knew where she was, so she started walking.  Her frozen body was found the next morning in the middle of a farm field.  I was pretty much a teatotaller before that; and I see no reason to change.

Now if you want to warm up try Chana Masala - you WILL sweat even if is 1 degree C (as long as there is enough curry)...

Actually, from fermented Agave nectar.  The Agave grow pretty freely in the desert in Mexico; but big Tequila makers seem to have their own cultivated plots of Agave.  As long as the temperature and soil are right maybe it would grow in the outback???

C-can we please swap? As a British person, constant 23C (yes I know that's low to lots of people) and endless sunshine is proving to be utterly intolerable to me. I prefer overcast days, rain, and cold at all times so I'd gladly take 1C.
"In the middle of the journey of our life, I came to myself in a dark wood, where the straight way was lost. It is a hard thing to speak of, how wild, harsh and impenetrable that wood was, so that thinking of it recreates the fear. It is scarcely less bitter than death: but, in order to tell of the good that I found there, I must tell of the other things I saw there." - Dante Alighieri

From the sublime to the ridiculous.

Unbelievable to think that just over a week ago I was in Banning California (near Palm Springs) in California in 115F with Breanne, (that's 46.1C) then in North Hollywood with Eva Marie delivering Food parcels to the Homeless in the midday Sun at 106F (41C) yet this morning I got up and had a cup of tea on my veranda and my avocado face mask almost froze solid on my face! (I live near the Ocean in Victoria) and the temperature was -1C (30F)/

You folk are too used to being cold wet and miserable.  Stiff upper lip and all! :P
23c is barely warmed up!
