BUT =28 is my upper most level. And then no hydro. I'm hyperventalating just thinking about it.

Am now living in a swamp which is heaven to cane toads and green tree frogs and, oh my, the sound. I can't sleep for their calls and the curlews - but it's almost cold here (mid 20s) and right now, I really wouldn't have it any other way.<BR/><BR/>Oh my God - what WAS that ramble...?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37871177.post-34866692268651413192009-01-30T14:29:00.000+10:002009-01-30T14:29:00.000+10:00I think it might be almost worse to have no electr...I think it might be almost worse to have no electricity in the heat than in the cold. <BR/><BR/> I made my own break. I treated myself to a couple of new books. With no electricity and the house dark I was limited in my house cleaning options so I could just sit and read and not feel guilty about it.Mary O.

For once, Qld has the nice weather and others get it extremely hot....what a change for the first week back at school in unairconditioned classrooms!!!! <BR/><BR/>I hate having no electricity. Actually, I really feel for those suffering the heat atm who have no power to run basic things like icy fridges and air cons! <BR/><BR/>And how typical of a corporation to try and rush through jobs! Grrrrrr! Bring back the good old days when work was done slowly and correctly and without pressure!Brissiemum2https://www.blogger.com/profile/11933172169962612609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37871177.post-60270634480353709852009-01-30T09:03:00.000+10:002009-01-30T09:03:00.000+10:00Yep, feeling pretty happy I'm not in Mebourne or A...Yep, feeling pretty happy I'm not in Mebourne or Adelaide right now. WE have our weather moments in Perth, but on whole I think the climate is excellent here - never more than occasionally extreme (hot) and nice defined seasons to keep you sane.<BR/><BR/>Sounds like you coped admirably without power. I think I would have just left the house, but then I'll do anything to avoid housework. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37871177.post-32422160400248547792009-01-30T08:25:00.000+10:002009-01-30T08:25:00.000+10:00Yes, we could use a reprieve over here.
