    I did the same here yesterday. Its was 40 and I worked to midday with an early start. About 1.30 I get a call from a guy wondering if I could do an overgrown lawn for him that afternoon as he had an inspection tomorrow. I literally said are you bloody serious mate. Needless to say he got schooled in what its like working in that type of heat.

    Heat and humidity in Sydney lately is a nightmare to work in!40/50 mm rain expected next couple of days will be a nice change but then another scorcher at the weekend when trying to catch up on any backlog!kudos to you guys in Queensland/Darwin who work in this type(or worse) of weather day in day out all spring,summer!no way I could do it!

    Knocking me around too. Hit 41.7 last Monday, officially the hottest day I've ever worked. The forecast for the next 2 days looks good for rain. About time, everything is looking brown and crispy here.
