Hey @TAB Maybe my Arthritis would be better in warm Weather...
The rest of my Body & Mind cannot stand the Heat of Summer.
30C is barely tolerable, consistent 40C's+ in Summers here is Not.
The Average Temperatures (Yearly) have got Consistently Higher/ Hotter - According to Official Weather Bureau Stats.
So when people say "We didn't have any Summer" - Are you kidding? That's Not Funny....
I was out working in 40C with Clients, on many days - We all flaked out, & couldn't last the distance.
My Mum who lives in Sydney - Said that she would never come to Perth (to visit me) in February Ever Again (too Hot).
Now she says she will never fly in a plane ever again - So she won't come at all....

yeah I dont know @Adge summer didnt seem as bad as it has been here. Could be wrong. I was a couple hours further north for most of december last year lost count of days over 38 and 40 . I dont do it that well either. Should be inside with aircon or at least in shade and not doing anything physical

I've been fairly frequent with getting my Shopping Done recently @TAB @Arizona Except many times I have no energy to go - So keep putting it off, & almost go without stuff.
My DES Jobsearch Provider decided to pressure me to do 2 days of solid Online Induction Training - Just a few days before I start Full-Time (6 weeks) Census Job.
I told them I cannot fit anything else in, in the next 7 to 10 days - They still think & insist that I can do it now...

You can get lots of Ticks here too @Arizona I've had several.
I've seen them walking up people's backs, in the nature park - I flicked them off.
Plenty of poisonous Snakes here too - The Bonus is: No Leeches....
Leeches need warm humid conditions, there's lots of Leches in Qld & NSW.
It's too dry & hot for Leeches here....

Yep @TAB I'm trying to Stand my Ground - It's hard with these people.
The Training is to be a Lollipop Person (Traffic Management) - After my 6 week Census Job.
The Lollipop pay is not too bad - About $27 per hour.
Census Job is Minimum Wage - about $20 per hour (plus Casual Loading).
