Standing in a wading pool, drinking an ice-cold Chinotto.

Ludicrous heat done right. 👍🏆

@imalcolm Gotta be cool & comfortable as I monitor the VicEmergency app...

@ghost_shit

Absolutely.

(I could relate, as when our kids were younger we had a wading pool under a shady tree, and many a 30+ afternoon was spent standing in it with a cold cider or beer.)

@imalcolm I'd crack a beer, but I'm concerned we aren't out of the woods yet, even though conditions out here aren't as bad as predicted...

@ghost_shit

That was a fair call - hell, it's still 40°C here at 6pm.

I'm assuming you're somewhere rural-ish then? I'm in the 'burbs, but have friends and family in various rural and coastal bits of the state on "Watch and act" status all day.
