Today the forecast is 27c with a real feel of 29c - it's a warm spell. We are due to go back to the norm of 18c by the weekend.
We came here for the winter because the norm is for weather from late Oct to early Apr that is, in the main, like a cracking Irish summer. When cold spells hit they only last a week or so and it's still pretty nice during the day. Rain tends to come in short heavy falls rather than the spells that can last a month back home! All in all the stay has been fantastic so far.

Oh...you have been lucky then! I actually thought you were based there permanently.

I spent a Christmas or three, working for the Royal Mail, for some extra money, way back when. A box was found, covered in black insulation tape all over and no address. It was blown up in a controlled explosion. Turned out to be a pair of nice Italian shoes. We found the address label later that day.
There wasn't much in the way of excitement on the facing desk, but that caused a bit of murmer in the lunch room.

I also did a stint on Xmas Posts way back. In those days they didn't have those trolley things and I had to carry this huge sack up hill and dale. I didn't much enjoy it. The bloke who was my sort of supervisor used to repeatedly sing the following line 'Let the punishment fit the crime, the punishment fit the crime'
Very odd...

Good afternoon all Tea dwellers. It was very sunny here this morning. That was then. Very cold!

It could happen some day but is unlikely as we couldn't take the heat of high summer. From Mid June to Mid Sept it can be 35-45 during the day and high 20's with high humidity at night. We went home on the 17th June last year and were glad to be leaving because of the heat!

Not as bad as is sounds.

Most visible part, 23 wires down to a box, 24 hours only though. Fun! on public transport though. Northern station staff didn't want to come near me.
Opened the ticket barriers and stood weeell back whilst I went through.

I know what you mean I think I dislike intense heat as much as intense cold! Is your apartment/house air conditioned?
