    I'm starting at 7am tomorrow morning and going to finish before 11am. At 43 it will be too hot to continue.

    There's a very common finding from the reads from within the "Hows the Weather" postings.

    We are all self employed and can start when we want, scratch ourselves when we want, have lunch when we want, pick up kids/meet the misses, stop, go home, jump in the pool or sit back and do invoices with a coldie.
    We are free and loving it. My neighbour over a quick chat tonight, said I will be thinking about you tomorrow in the heat. I said, Thanks, but I can pull the pin and go home when I please.

    Cheers Garry

    But Paul you have to remember that extra hour of daylight just means it gets hotter,dries the grass faster and fades the curtains sooner because there is an extra hour of sunlight

    And if you don't like what Ian has to say use the ignore function if you don't know how ask i will gladly tell you

    Ian I see you've studied at the late Sir Jo Bjelke-Petersen School of Philosophy.

    Just finished the house opposite me and logged on 9.54am.
    35 deg and climbing with filthy rotten blustery conditions at 60 kmh and increasing, sky hazzy with dust. The sky has that humid thunderstorm look about it for possible lightning later on.

    Don't feel like going to another job whilst next job is quite close by as well in green grassed residential area.

    Terrible conditions for upper Vic and NSW today, would not like to live in a heavily timber area. Lets hope the 08/01/12 is recorded as just another hot day.


    Edit: now staying home, too hot, too windy.
    Cheers Garry
