Too Hot

This week has been hot. Waay too hot. Last Tuesday it was 33C at midnight and today it just hung around 41C for most of the afternoon and evening (it was still 35 at midnight!). I thought I'd experienced this sort of thing last year but it seems that this week's run of 30+ days has broken some 150 year record for Sydney. With all the flooding in the rest of Australia and the huge Cyclone this week the weather is truly crazy here. 75% of Australia's banana crop has been wiped out and already the prices have double in the supermarket. Thankfully the prices aren't quite what they've been advertised in work.. Update: ok that's a huge change in the space of 24 hours! It started out in the mid 30's this afternoon when we went to a shopping centre to abuse their air-con (just like everyone else) but when we came out literally a couple of hours later it was 20! Thats a whopping 21-degree drop in 24 hours..
