You know you're in an Australian Summer when.....

.....

1.The best parking space is determined by shade instead of distance.

2.Hot water comes out of both taps.

3.You learn that a seat belt buckle makes a pretty good branding iron.

4.The temperature drops below 35c and you feel a little chilly.

5.You discover that in February it only takes two fingers to steer
your car.

6.You discover that you can get sunburnt through your car window.

7.You develop a fear of metal car door handles.

8.You break a sweat the instant you step outside at 7:30am.

9.Your biggest bicycle wreck fear is, "What if I get knocked out and
end up lying on the pavement and cook to death?"

10.You realise that asphalt has a liquid state.

11. While walking back barefoot to your car from the beach, you do a
tightrope act on the white lines in the carpark.

12.You catch a cold from having the aircon full blast while you sleep
during the night.

13.You pray that your train will have airconditioning, and if it
doesn't, waiting an extra 15 minutes for one is worth it

OMG! LOL!

And.....waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! I want it to be hot here too!

Good ones Sharni! TY!

LixyChick,

I want it to be hot here in February!!!

*snuggles further under the blanket and pouts*

Hee hee Sharni..can definitely relate to those :)

Here's a few more:

14. Vinyl seats still make you nervous even in winter; memories of a summer seat scalding linger long.

15. Your bedsheets go into storage in December.

16. Your white hat looks like someone drank beer out of it after you've worn it a few hours.

lol how true is it last week was the werst i think or the week b4

In my Red Cross course, they made a point of getting the victim

off the road, if at all possible, and if not pouring water around

to take the heat off the tar.

Many deep burns occur due to bodies on hot roads.

OMG that's horrible.....starting to be glad I live in England now!

Hey Sharni you forgot some.

You have to tip toe at the beach coz the sand is so hot.

You quickly realise that the coldest part on the sidewalk is the grass.

No matter what you are wearing you feel hot.

Your sunglasses fog up from your face when you wear them.

When some dickhead says "It's a bit warm today" and you look at the thermostat and it reads 40 degrees centrigrade.

When you jump on the trampoline and get off after 2 bounces.

When you're at the beach and the object of choice to wear on the whole body is a sunhat.

When you squirt out the sun lotion and it comes out all hot and runny.

When your thongs (flip flops) actually melt at the point where the top part meets in the base and they are rendered useless.

Oh and that dickhead would be me *L*

To us Qlders that is a bit warm....
