    I know what you mean. Late start yesterday as I had some running around and some quoting to do. Get to the first job and it's starts raining. Rained on and off for the next 4 hrs until I picked the kids up from school then blue skies. Supposed to rain again on Friday and Saturday.

    Lovely day, if you're a duck, down here, 60mm last night and light rain most of the day so far.

    everyone ready for the heatwave?? we're heading for 41 tomorrow here's a good trick, get an empty soft drink bottle (or 2) fill it 1/3 to 1/2 with water and lay it on its side in the freezer overnight. Fill it with water before leaving the next morning and you've got icy water all day!

    Must have been warm, even the hedger didn't want to start from 11:30am, luckily I finished at 12:15. Came home and did my own lawn for some stupid reason.

    Currently the temp at Hastings is HOT lol

    It's hot again and i'm loving it, made quota by 1 and was down the beach by 2. Not as good as rooread by close enough. Beats working in the cold!!!

    Just posted about these chill-vests and hats in the OH&S forum. Looks awesome for the heat but don't know if you'd get them before the heatwave is over if you ordered now.

    Haha. I sweat like that when the temps gets into the high 20s. Change shirts three or four times a day usually. I usually call it quits if the temp gets to mid 30s or higher but that doesn't happen a lot here.

    I hit the electrolites more regular now, ice block frozen in half a 1.25 bottle, take banana's, but this arvo I purchased some 'Staminade' Concentrate, very cost effective, I can work in the heat no probs, but today I knew I was gonna be Kangarooted because started the job too late, if it was a normal 'blow n go' no probs, now i'm having a schooner at home.

    I bought Staminade or Gatorade concentrate once, the blue stuff. It turns your poo bright green.....


    Endura electrolyte powder is what I use these days. Much. much better.
