Rossmoyne Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 What a hot few days we have had in Perth. How did you keep cool over Christmas? In my slightly "different" family, we just lived in our bathers, tshirts and sarongs- went for constant swims in the pool that felt like a warm bath and then came in and cooled off in the air con. When dry did the same thing over, and over, and over again...... In between there was lots of yummy grub, drinkies, and funny videos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rossmoyne Posted December 26, 2012 Author Share Posted December 26, 2012 Wendee it was at "melting point" in my view but apparently 39C (Chrissie Day) and 40C (Boxing Day) in real terms.... Sitting here in the study in wet bathers and a towel under the air con and just wondering if sleep is possible tonight!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freckleface Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Well thanks Dave.... so needed not to know that!! Look at it this way - at least the pool is getting a lot of use which makes all the maintenance worthwhile lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fifi69 Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Xmas day was the 1st day that i thought was proper warm in Perth. Spent until 2pm at Cottesloe beach then back to the house and cooked a traditional turkey and trimmings dinner for 14 Had a couple of dips in the pool but still no need for the air con to go on. A portable fan in the bedroom is doing the trick. Sat in the back lounge at the mo, doors open, a nice cool breeze blowing in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ali Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Pretty much the same here .... we have wisteria at the end of the garden which provides lots of shade, so that's were the loungers and hammock are - so for us, dips in the pool, lounging in the shade and cooling off indoors with the aircon ... and had a lovely Christmas.

VERYSTORMY Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Lots of dips in the pool. Had a swim in the ocean Christmas day, which was a mistake as for the first time in 5 years I forgot to slop on the cream. Now look like a rock lobster. Probably because of the champers muddling the brain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon Xmas Day in Sydney it struggled to reach 18C and with heavy, "English style" (ie constant, moderate rainfall rather than the stormy squalls and subtropical showers that are more the norm) rain all day. I quite enjoyed it, perversely - just like Xmas at home. Nice to cool the fabric of the house down after two increasingly hot days, the pool got more than enough action on Xmas Eve Since then it's been fairly cool all week over here, supposed to be warmer and sunnier tomorrow but at least the nights are still forecast with cooler temps. Fine by me, I can handle any sort of heat during the day, it's hot nights I hate. Selfishly I'm not really bothered about having a hot summer, wife is heavily pregnant so as soon as the mercury is over 30 I get a cacophony of moaning :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fifi69 Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Love it. Perfect weather. Was down at South Beach 6pm tonight, still red hot. Came home had a shower and now sat outside beer in hand. Agree that the doctor keeps it cool but it can be a pain in the backside aswell. Get up in the morning and the pool looks like a disaster zone!!

Jackboots Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 We have power cuts fires fried the wires apparently, no aircon or fans tonight ...supposed to be 41 on sat I'm going to fill the pool with ice cubes hehe ..strangely it was boxing day we put our air con on for the first time . We have ceiling fans through the house and its usually enough if you shut up the windows and doors and blinds etc through the day .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
