34c when I got up this morning
Now it's hitting 37... streets are quite. Either everyone is taken to the lakes (likely) or sheltering indoors like myself.

I'm toying with the idea of going into work. It might be cooler there.
Inside temp 29.6. Outside - oh, the sun has just hit the window sill so that thermometer is climbing rapidly as I type.
It did rain last night, but I got off lightly.Last edited by Sysman; 11 July 2010, 10:42.

31° C here at the moment, and I hear thunder. Hopefully that'll bring a bit of rain to cool us down through the night.Originally posted by scooterscot View Post36C now we're cooking.
Been trapped in the house all day. Tried going out, was like walking into a hair dryer so ran back inside.
I tried a bar which has a/c earlier on. Tough, the a/c had packed up, but the beer was cool.
Lots of nicely tanned cleavage to admire though.

I've just been swanning around the French Riviera where it was like that every day. Coming back to a mere 30 deg C in the UK is a relief.

I tried penguin burger once while on a trip to see the Northern lights. I was travelling with the Danish Queen and the Tauntaun we were riding froze to death. All I had was a replica light saber from IKEA, a packet of Penguin biscuits and a frying pan.Originally posted by DaveB View PostTo which the appropriate reply is of course "No need for that, I'm a contractor, my house is cooled by the melting of Antartic ice imported especially for the job. Would you like a penguin burger?"
I rustled up a meal fit for royalty. Delicious and we were rescued the next morning.
Threaded.
