Re: The View from Up Here.
Thought I would cast a chill for the Aussie folk sweltering in the heat. This was my view on Saturday morning.

Re: The View from Up Here.
I know that view from my holiday last year. The monsoon broke in the Lakes..
Measure with a micrometer, mark with a pencil, cut with an axe.
Re: The View from Up Here.
Thanks for that Wendy. Its 39 in Melbourne today and 40+ for the next four days. It was 35 by 10 am this morning. I've covered up all the new little trees with sheets in an attempt to help them survive the temperature. Northern hemisphere trees don't fair so well in our temperatures.Wendyf wrote:Thought I would cast a chill for the Aussie folk sweltering in the heat. This was my view on Saturday morning.

Re: The View from Up Here.
I'd like to lick your window, Wendy! Or at least press my cheeks against the cold glass...
42/43 C for us today and hotter tomorrow I believe. Not that I have checked any updates since hearing that this morning, but I can tell you it is sizzling out there and every time I wander past the kitchen sink I have had a glass of water. Had a cold bath not long ago and feel much revived, having worked up quite a sweat cleaning the room son has now vacated. Nice to have a guest bedroom again, but I am not making the bed up in case it attracts visitors. I'm a bit "over" having house guests for a while! ( besides, I want to have the doona dry cleaned)

Re: The View from Up Here.
We have reached 45 C...and a thunderstorm is brewing. It won't cool us down, but it makes for an interesting afternoon.
Joy!

Re: The View from Up Here.
Thanks for your photo Wendy, much appreciated. During our unexpected thunderstorm today I went outside, stood in the rain and breathed it all in. The temporary relief was bliss.
I know I'm in my own little world, but it's OK... they know me here.
Re: The View from Up Here.
We must be sisters...I did the same thing!
Then I reflected on the number of people dying from being struck by lightening lately, and rolled up my kite with the key hanging off it and came inside.
Sitting here dabbing with a wet face washer now. Very tropical at present. I feel another cold bath looming.

Funny how the hot weather affects people. My daughter braving 45C in King Park in Perth to get married again.... All three are now honest women...

Re: The View from Up Here.
Lovely photo and with a very Australian backdrop. Couldn't help but notice that the Celebrant is standing on something.

Re: The View from Up Here.
Beautiful photo of the happy couple Stanley. My friend was married in Kings Park, probably in the same spot. Lucky for us it was only about 30C then. It's a fantastic place.

Re: The View from Up Here.
I noticed the plinth as well. Kings Park is a good place, Janet got married there to her first husband Harry who was killed in a plane crash at Jandakot ten years ago....

Re: The View from Up Here.
Wonderful view this afternoon as the sun was going down, I was just bringing the ponies in so I missed the best of it.
Looking the other way too...

Re: The View from Up Here.
Nice one Ian....
Maz, the birds are mating already! But two bad months to come yet. In 1947 when we had the worst snow of the century it didn't start until the end of February.

Re: The View from Up Here.
Its not a bad place to live....
I saw Wendy's sunset. I was taking a computer back to Colne on Thursday as the sun was going down and it was beautiful going out of Barlick on the new road. Barlick was covered in thick grey cloud but the sky was clear in the west and the setting sun was shining on the hillsides.
