I am sweltering here in this humidity. The temperature isn't to bad at 30c but the humidity is a real 'drainer'. Australian summers are becoming hotter & hotter as the years go by. We are in the midst of yet another 'El-Nino' with no decent rain to speak of - yet further up the top it is now the 'wet season'. They have already had their first cyclone for this season in Western Australia/ Northern Territory. I have 2 fans going, both pointing at me as I wrote my latest tutorial "Blue Line" Think I may now retire upstairs where I have the air-conditioning going & read for a while Kate
