Weather where you are?

Another balmy day in Paradise:unsure:
Ex tropical cyclone Seth dumped a few 100 mms over a couple of days last week as it swept past dragging everything south, meaning we are currently in a nice little heat trough (Raw temp no's normally held down a bit by high humidity)
Today by 8am it was nudging 30c and then hovered around 40c for most of the day and when the missus made me go for a walk at 4.30pm it had plummeted to tad under 37c!!
Now she's yelling in my ear that a cold beer would be good. Tried to tell her it is a no alcohol Tuesday but I am naturally weak willed and do as I am told👩‍🏫
Ah well where's that opener..........🍺 ☑️

Every day is no alcohol day for me. :(

Actually, I don't miss it. If I feel like a beer, there are some very nice alcohol-free beers around these days. Only thing I'm pissed off about is that since giving up drinking a few years ago, I haven't been pulled over for a random breath test. I want to be able to tell the cop (while slurring my speech) that I've had 8 stubbies of beer, then see the look on his face when I blow 0.00 :)

On the subject of weather (staying on topic) the forecast for Tassie for the next few days is lots of rain and thunderstorms. Peter's Ex tropical cyclone Seth is extending a low pressure trough right down the eastern states of Australia as far south as Tasmania and beyond. Thanks Peter for sending your shit weather down here.

Ha ha, well, this is the view from my back door this morning - not sure you'd want it either Cam, it's quite warm.

I have been waiting for the wet, we have had a reprieve over the Christmas week but it will come. The El whatever is still here.

Cheer up Cam.
Same here. Five and a half years now. Enough is enough.
When you get out and about, it makes you realise what the alcohol dependency of our societies is. When invited out, I have to go with my alcohol free beer, which is very pleasant nowadays and living next to Belgium, varied.
Working 6 years in a cancer treatment centre next to the worlds premier alcohol/tobacco induced ENT cancer area and spending one's working day taking half of peoples jaws and mouths out get's you thinking.
Then I retired and found myself on the patient's side.
So it's alcohol free Tuesday every day and all the better for it.
Better late than never.

re. weather ... horrible in Chicago today, as is normal ~ 0 but the wind chill taking it down 10 or so degrees!

re. grog ... I feel for those who have personally restricted their intake or have a medical need to and I hope that I won't have a need to accept either choice - 'cos it's a crying shame not to be able to partake in a decent brew at the right time or have a glass of a decent wine to compliment the perfect meal .... but good on you!

one of my ex.'s should have stopped years ago ... the results are never pretty from any drug / alc. abuse ☹️
 
I got busted, over 10 years ago, high range drink driving, dickhead.......

A few days ago I had a Broken Hill cop follow me for about five minutes, while he dragged up my history no doubt. Almost the first thing he asked was if I had drank anything today..... I hadn’t and blew 0. I guess I’m going to have to live with the fact that I’m a marked man.

I won’t drive even after two mid strength beers these days, I learnt a big lesson.
Bloody idiot!
 
Going to -40 C (-46 C with the wind chill) tonight at 2am here on the western edge of Calgary, going to rise to a nice balmy -36 C (-42 C wind chill) at 7am. I better thro an extra log in the fireplace tonight.
 
Flew to Barcelona and drove 10 hours to Morzine on Sunday. Couldn’t believe the traffic , bumper to bumper the whole way from Barcelona to Chambery 3 lanes wide. First day skiing here, I had a brown violin spider in my ski boot that bit me. The last 4 days on crutches and the sofa with a hugely swallow foot , felt like I had broken my heel bone. Today was the second snow fall this week. Tomorrow is the last chance to ski , be damned if I’m missing it. Back to the thread , the weather and also the wine is spectacular here. Hope to be back here again soon

And I thought my snapped ACL first run on the first day at Whisler after a 15-hour plane ride was a shocker of a story, spider bite first day. Horrible.
