the
fridge
&
a
wet
flannel

cool
me
down.
I'm

Hi
Kitz,
Yep,
it
feels
like
a
yukky
day
ahead.
Dampen
your
clothes,
and
use
fans
(if
you
have
them).
In
the
old
days,
I
heard,
they
used
wet
hessian
at
the
windows
to
catch
the
breeze
and
act
like
a
cooler.
Drink
cold
water
too.
My
dogs
live
outside
on
the
semi-enclosed
verandah.
They've
got
their
own
evaporative
air
cooler.
It's
necessary
in
this
heat.

We
had
just
one
day
last
week
@
38,
that
was
enough
for
me.
I
could
not
survive
without
airconditioning!
In
the
olden
days
before
fans
and
air
cons,
my
Dad
used
to
hose
the
house
down,
that
would
at
least
cool
the
bricks
and
cool
the
house
a
bit.
We
also
used
to
go
to
a
Scout
Camp
to
stay,
they
had
sprinklers
on
the
tin
roof
which
were
turned
on
to
cool
the
place
down.
Not
much
good
if
you
have
water
restrictions
though.
At
least
we
have
bore
water
her
to
use
for
that.
Will
be
interesting
to
see
the
replies!

my
mum
used
to
do

too.
She
had
a
few
tricks
(
she
is
from
the
land
of
heat
-
Thailand)
Others
things
were:
Ice
on
the
bedsheets
before
bed
then
have
the
fan
on
you
Fill
the
bath
&
sinks
with
water
Freezing
fruit
pices
for
snacks
mopping
the
floors
wet
and
frozen
towels
or
facecloths

Yes,
we
are
in
for
a
hot
week
in
Victoria
too.
I
remember
my
Mum
would
half
fill
an
ice
cream
container
or
bowl,
freeze.
Then
when
you
turned
the
fan
on,
placed
the
bowl
of
ice
in
front
of
the
fan,
and
you
get
the
cool
of
the
ice
in
the
container
when
the
fan
is blowing.
We
have
air
con,
so
that
will
be
getting
a
work-out
this
week.
Best
of
luck
everyone
and
try
and
stay
cool.

I
hope
everyone
thinks
of
their
pets
&
birds.
I
always
wonder
how
birds
in
aviaries
get
on,
they
must
get
so
hot
in
those
steel
aviaries.
I
had
a
friend
who
had
one
and
she
used
to
have
an
old
blnket
she
would
keep
wet
and
put
over
the
aviary,
So
often
you
see
poor
budgies
&
canaries
out
on
verandahs
on
stinking
hot
days
also.Marian

Oh
I
like
the
ice
cream
container
one
I
know
Maran,
my
cats
arent
usually
allowed
inside-
they
have
a
"house"
out
the
back
shed-
but
if
its
over
30
they
come
in.
Last
40+
heatwave
we
had
I
rescued
a
galah.
We
had
him
for
about
a
week
then
as
soon
as
it
cooled
down
he
bit
me
&
flew
away-
take
that
for
grattitude
little
bugger
:P
