We re having another heat wave here at the moment. Someone at work told me that they define a heat wave by 35 degrees plus for 5 or more days in a row.

Yesterday it was 39... and today, tomorrow and Monday it is due to be 41! Ouch!

After a long, sweaty day at work yesterday I went swimming with a friend at this beach pictured. I was swimming just to the left of this jetty. We were in the water til the sunset. It was really beautiful. This beach is called Semaphore and is about 20mins from my house.

Just to add a bit of pressure Gary, I have to change my flights in the next few weeks, so the sooner you and Carole can let me know when to come home the better. I am also just about to book a holiday to Bali, so it would be great to know your dates before I do that. Just to make sure they don't clash.
