Mercury Rising

It's been absolutely roasting here this week.

It's been in the high thirties all week and is forecast to touch forty today. It's even been too hot for mum and dad to sunbathe and they are devout sun-worshippers. They've got good tans already though, with dad bearing more than a passing resemblance to Mohatma Gandhi.

It's hard on us outside workers too, although I'm surprised with how well I've coped. You sweat buckets, but kinda get used to it.

Tomorrow promises cooler temperatures, which would be nice as we're off to visit the wineries of nearby Rutherglen.
