Ermagerd David,  how did you even breathe in that heat?

    

[davidc4430]

it takes about 1 minute until you stop thinking this is ok to this is quite warm really.

another minute and i'm saying now is not the time to be fussy about which bush you use foo.

another minute and i'm saying please foobie, this bush will do ok!

then he says ok this one, does his biz, then we come back melting as we go.

then it takes 10 minutes to start thinking inside is good.

Jeez that's pretty bad, DaveC.

Hope you weren't roasting a chicken or ham in the oven today.

Does it have humidity with it or a dry heat?

[davidc4430]

who needs an oven, just a oven bag and put it on the front porch! lol

That kind of temperature needs to me in this round's four day music challenge

We had 27c also here West of Sydney, in aircon.

It was very pleasant.

It makes me wonder at the fortitude of our forebears to celebrate a Northern European Christmas in the heat of the Antipodes.
