Good Morning Early Birds

[emmie]

morning, its saturday and the weekend is here, what are you doing today if anything?
whatever way i hope things go well and that you are all in good health, if not you have my sympathy. I am meeting a mate for lunch or just coffee i am not sure which at the minute, but it gives us a chance to catch up with the weeks news.

[emmie]

its dark early now, and once we get to end of the month will be worse, i know that its autumn/winter, but i have never got used to it. As to the mornings its not light till late, and i really miss the daylight to wake up to.

[emmie]

no really earlybirds awake yet, where's 1ozzy when you need him..........

[1ozzy]

I'm lurking Emmie, packing tools away and tidying up.

Feeling positive today?

[emmie]

morning 1ozzy,
feeling positive about what?

[emmie]

the weather is peculiar it's not so much cold as overcast,

[1ozzy]

Anything and everything?
It's good to feel chirpy when the day begins

[emmie]

though today might be different again, i shall go out togged in warm clothing just in case...

[emmie]

it is i guess, am a bit tired but the coffee has woken me up somewhat, so will just see how the rest of the morning goes.
how are you doing?

[1ozzy]

No complaints here, its finally starting to warm up.
In a couple of months I'll be whinging about the heat and lack of rain;-/

[emmie]

how long does the hot weather last, months?

[1ozzy]

5-6 months sometimes, peaks in Jan, Feb, high 40's very occasionally breaks into very low 50's.
It's a dry heat which beats humid any day.
High 20's today, first time past 10 for months.

Good morning. No idea what it’s doing outside but I think it’s forecast to be warm.

[emmie]

morning Naomi

[emmie]

that's what i thought Naomi, warm for this time of year.

i can't imagine having heat like that 1ozzy, it would be humid here.
and that would be unbearable.

[1ozzy]

It gets humid in some parts of Oz, but usually not as hot.
I prefer 35-45 dry heat than 30-35 humid.

[emmie]

i guess i would too 1ozzy... people complain here when it gets too hot, can't sleep etc,

[1ozzy]

We have a ducted "swampy" on our roof.
An evaporative cooling system.
Works a treat in a dry climate, useless in a humid one.
Cheap as chips to run.
Keeps the house cool during summer, sometimes too cool

[emmie]

its when you go out that it must hit you, i can't imagine the UK ever having those temperatures.

Morning all, just been outside and it's not very cold but still dark. 1ozzy we went to the Alhambra in Spain a few years ago and temperature was in the high 40s and we found it too hot for us especially as we spent most of the day walking around in it. On the plus side it was a dry heat.
