Warg Arry Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 [quote name='gryphon strike' post='1682604' date='Feb 11 2009, 02.44']ok folks just a shameless bump. Had a great day at work and the weather was nice only 22 max so hopefully another night sleeping under the dooner[/quote] Really? So the heat wave is broken? It was 42 here yesterday, apparently. at any rate the second you step outside you can feel your skin sizzling. Bring on winter I say. I know it's flu season and the Dr and medical bills go through the roof. But I'm dying for a cozy snug all night sleep under a doona. oh and all the awesome comfort food. that's just to hot to cook in the summer. SO Over the heat at the moment. glad you had a good day at work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gryphon strike Posted February 12, 2009 Author Share Posted February 12, 2009 Well the heat will be back by the weekend I think, I finished work late so missed the news, loved the overtime and had another great day and tomorrow starts off great too, a nice long drive through the adelaide hills to deliver 2 pallets ( 3.2 ton ) of concrete. What the rest of the day will hold is another matter but even so it already looks good :) I should be getting a debt repaid of in total $360 :) So lets be honest that will be a big help :) I almost panicked tonight when I realised that it was payday and I only had $35 left after paying bills etc. Ohh yet another good thing next week I can go to my plan of living off one weeks pay and saving the next weeks pay. That should give me enough for a new car in a few months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah even working I find that if you don't budget your either earning heaps or you are not saving. I like to put money away in a money tree system say $50 a week for phone and and say $40 for the car ( incidentals like service tyres etc ) $50 for food another $50 for fuel $10 for rego $25 for electricity so that alone is $225 throw in rent and its almost half my wage. I need to save if I am ever going O/S also if I want to get back to uni with some money behind me. Not to mention hopefully having a stall at the medieval fair this year that costs money also as does stock such as material and herbs and raw materials for runestone sets.

Warg Arry Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I got my wish, it cooled enough for me to get a cozy night sleep under a doona. It was so good. starting to warm up again. still the respite was delicious.. more rain would be nice. if I could choose to have a super power or magical ability (talking gifts not curses) I think I would go for summon rain/water. how much benefit could you provide with such a talent.

I must be a good worker, I mean I finished todays and tomorrows work today and also finished an hr early! warm weather is back but thankfully not real crazy weather , it was getting pretty warm by 3pm not at 9am like we had during the heat wave. Thank god it was monday I needed a rest after the weekend! I was asked to help a friend with a water pipe problem on thier farm. Basically I provide the muscle and they say what and where. Then I get there and ohh no we are going to try something else instead, have a drink Lots of drinks later I managed to escape early sunday morning.

gryphon strike Posted February 16, 2009 Author Share Posted February 16, 2009 [quote name='Triskele' post='1688016' date='Feb 16 2009, 16.41']Hey Aussies...do you guys have clean water (even if it's rationed) and do you have good fish like salmon? I might want to move there if you do. I swear omega-3's and sunshine are the staples of human health. Good fish are becoming harder to find in the US, though still plenty available...just worried about the next few decades... We do have incredible fish in Alaska but there's the small problem of no sun (and Palin).[/quote] Tasmania still has water and there are trout in the rivers also a salmon breeding program I believe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there's a whole lot of beach front and pristine ocean, considering the size of the country and the small population. Which also means plenty of fish :) All the main population centres are also located close to the ocean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edda van Heefmstra Ruston Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I think you're neglecting Coober Pedy there, Callum. :P (No, really, I think it's interesting that the largest inland city is Canberra, which has less than 8% of the population of Sydney. Then again, with so much coast, I can't blame people for settling there. Especially as I imagine travelling by sea between some of these cities probably used to be faster than trying to go overland.)

The thing is that as the climate changes we can expect more flooding and also more drought, crazy I know but a big part of it is the southern polar winds have sped up. Because they are going faster they are also tighter to the pole, thus less clouds etc sent north. Also while the south is getting less rain you will have the monsoons coming further south so northern Australia will flood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
