Oh gosh Arte, that sounds absolutely disgusting! Does it stink?

Got throught the hot day OK. Office air conditioning struggled a bit, the building is about 2-3 feet off the ground and we could feel the heat coming up through the carpet and tiles.

MD - how are all the visitors going? Everyone else cope in the heat?

Sherie - any of those fires near your place? We don't have any in our shire, but big ones west, north and south. Very smoky today. Once again realising how isolated we can be - the highway north to Sydney is shut again, the one to Canberra was shut for over a day.
