We are in the middle of a real heat wave at the moment, it was 45.7 degrees c, today,
That's 114 degrees f , (in our old scale and for those parts of the world that aren't
metricated yet.)
The forecast is for 3 more days over 40 degrees, then another 4 days in the HIGH
30's (100 degrees f, the only good thing I can say about that is that its a dry heat
very little humidity here in SA.
Oh for a wintry day!!!!!!!

Your quotes had me laughing. We are having wintry days here. It was only 6 degrees Fahrenheit last night. Oh for a summer day! Ha ha.

Jack K. said...

Loved your quotes. I read some of them before, but they are still hilarious.

Sorry about your heat wave. We are having very cold weather here right now.

karisma said...

I have been thinking of you in this heat. Its been hot here too but we only got one day over 40 and that was bad enough! (I even closed the house and had the air con on, which I don't like. Much prefer fresh air) We have been in the high 30's most of the time, staying indoors till the afternoon then hanging out at the beach until it cools a bit. Its supposed to be hotter again today so I think I will bury my head in the sand! Keep out of the sun! Hope you are well otherwise. Hugs xxxx

Love the quotes, especially the Jimmy Durante one! Mr. kenju would say that's ME!

Hale McKay said...

Not that I particularly relish temps in the 100f end of the thermometer, I would be willing to swap a couple of 30 below zero nights for at least one of those 100 degree days.

I love those celebrity quotes.

Great 'header' photo!

Merle said...

Hi Peter ~~ good quotes and I have been thinking of you and Vicki in that heat. It usually comes over to us I'm afraid. At least, so far, no terrible fires, just small ones.
Take care, Love, Merle.

Dave said...

One of the 4 biggest lies of all time:
But, it's a dry heat...!

Pamela said...

we had dry cold and wet cold. And believe me, wet cold is much c-c--c-c-c-older.

Love all the quotes.

Puss-in-Boots said...

Some of those quotes are new to me...but I love them all, anyway. Our temps are fairly static here, in the low 30s. Most pleasant normally but it is hellishly humid. You know, typical sultry Qld weather.

That's a dreadful fire in Gippsland at the moment. Hope friends and family (both yours and mine) are safe.

Cliff said...

Great quotes Peter.
Ho lee cow, 114 degrees. That would do me in. The vultures would be circling, dry heat or no.

Great pics too from the concert.

Carolyn said...

Love those quotables Peter! Very funny ;D

Wish I had me a winter home in Austalia.

Christina said...

I am going to Colorado for a week where temps will be below freezing, so I will think about you and your 100 degree days!

I enjoyed the quotes.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE give us some global warming.

HELL they are giving away free money in the states
