We are currently at plus 31 to you or in real world figures 90 degrees today.. nice and pleasant.. tomorrow we are due to see 95 so great day for a ride..........bugger we have a club barbie then have to head over to the Peninsula... ( picked up my Visa just yesterday ) ....might have to get inventive on the trip home but.
 
40c here in North west NSW as well,the Sydney blokes will be hunting for shade at todays Club BBQ and rego day.
 
It's not so much the heat that's affecting the South Aus firefighters, it's the humidity! South Aus is after all the driest state on the driest continent. ;) Think the Taswegians would be affected the same way.
 
I just bicycled 715km in 8 days as part of the 560km (i did some extra  :D) Great Vic Bike Ride with my 13yo son and his high school team. He's not a bike rider so an incredible achievement. So glad the weather remained benign, hottest day in nthn Vic was 30C, and no major rain.

Coastal Nth Qld wet season is insane in terms of humidity.

bloody hell, Chris! I have been absent from the forum for a while as I just finished a very long trial as defense counsel. Finished yesterday and feels like today I am just returning to the world, and to life.  Your three week stint on a jury will be a long time to be concentrating and away from your life. Still, our society needs jury members wiling and able to serve.

still cold and snowy here, approaching the shortest day of the year on the 21 st, waking up in the dark to go to Court, going home from Court in the dark. It is a tough time of the year here between the short hours of daylight, the cold, and the snowy icy roads. At age 64, not sure how many more of these long trials I have a tolerance for, have another one starting in mid January 2019 and at the moment not looking forward to it from a physical endurance test aspect, going 12- 14 hours a day between a long day in Court then preparing all evening for the next day.

relatively blue sky out my window today, warmed up to just below Zero Celsius, and our annual vintage motorcycle Christmas party tonight, so a good day...?.

Wondered where you have been, yes its probably the most important job a citizen can do being on a jury and when you think about it there are no qualifications required other than walking and talking. Good but scary.

No criminal convictions, you must be impartial and not blab about the case to anyone else until it is concluded.

I had a three week case as a juror.
I found the legal process absolutely fascinating! More a stage show than boring.
We found the scrote guilty of all five charges eventually! Of course there is always one that goes wobbly and turns squeemish on the jury.
The guy was taking ?45,000 a trip out to Belgium and bringing back 19,200 pouches of tobacco to the UK to sell in the market stalls. He covered his tracks with a fictitious clothing business.
He got five years! We 'the jury' turned up for his sentencing to give him a wave!!!!!!

Weather is cool, wet and windy! 7-10 oC
 
Three days of rain , sunday dry and 10degrees might av a quick hour out , 🔙🔜🇮🇹🏍🇮🇹
 
Went for a weekender with a few of the boys through the Ups. Mumbleup, Yabberup, Chaterup, and Knockerup. The Friday before we rode down to the Ups it was 42C at home, was already 27C at 8:30 Sat morning when I left. Final destination for the overnighter was 18C and pissing with rain. It was 12C and pissing down when we left for home the next morning and 32C at home when I got there. Fecking weird weather and made it bloody tricky on the windy roads through the Ups.
 
Weird weather here too. We had a real tropical thunderstorm a couple of days ago. My place wasn't in the centre of it but still copped a deluge of rain and 1/2" hail stones. Storm drains couldn't cope so a lot of streets were under water. Wouldn't have been much fun to be out on a bike when the storm hit.

Hey Davo,  Sounds like you were in Walpole, should've dropped in :D

Same miserable weather but about 250k west of you.
 
Just back from 4-days of backcountry skiing in the Monashees (central BC)... 5m of snow at our chalet, with temps hovering around -5 deg C.  Pretty much a perfect way to pass the winter.  Here's my 63 yr old sister cutting a nice line in the powder:
