Sizzling Sydney

For the last 4 days, Sydney's western suburb has been reaching 40+ degrees. Its feel very uncomfortable and all I want to do is staying at home in the nice air conditioned room. Some people try to cool down by going to the swimming pool or the beach. Mall with the air condition is another option too. Ice cream becomes a daily treat now in my house.

2 days in a row, we went to the local swimming pool. It felt so good and fresh while we were in the water. Once we got out of the water, the hot breeze hit us immediately. It's very unpleasant.

All the outdoor sport activities being cancelled despite the fear that children will feel unwell and dehydrated. About 60 bushfires burning around NSW and many more down in Victoria. The fire figthters have been working very hard to control the fire but sometimes it's too hard, especially with very the gusty wind.

Hopefully all this will end soon (for temporary) as the weather forecast for next week shows between 24-29 degrees with possible showers. What a relieve....

I watched news reporting about the heat in your area too and the bushfires. People fear losing their houses to the bushfires. So sad.

Here in Singapore the weather has been erratic, sometimes the nights suddenly gets so cold and then the next few nights the winds seems to have died and its gets so warm, lots of children are getting sick with flu, sore-throat and cough.

I hope things will get better over at your side and here too.

CHEERS!

p/s: Thanks for dropping by my blog.
