Doing the washing is my favourite household chore. One reason is that there's nothing easier than sorting the clothes, throwing them into the machine and pressing a button. And hanging clean things on the line is always a pleasure. My mother must have loved it, too, as I remember her singing at the clothes line. There's nothing nicer than the smell of sheets, pillowslips and doona cover taken straight from the sun and put on the bed. Now that's it's winter, sometimes the clothes don't quite dry, so need airing in front of the heater. In summer it can be so hot that things often dry before you finish hanging the rest out.

It amazes me that the 30 degree temperatures in UK at the moment are killing people! It has to be 40 before I feel affected, and sometimes in the centre of Australia it can be in the 50s. Yet when I was in Italy a few years back, the heat drove me home. I'd never suffered so much and thought I would surely die! That is hard to explain.

Its 11-00am here Diane and the temperature is already 28C, The hottest temp. I have worked in was 50C working in the Engine room whilst in the Navy and crossing the Equator on the way to Brazil and Argentina, we had to drink gallons of salted water and only allowed to work 30 minutes on and one hour off.
The heat doesn't bother me at all Diane and most people appear to love it. The papers are having a field day as usual - I certainly have not heard of anyone dying from the heat just dying from being stupid and entering water which is dangerous, like old disused quarried which are fathoms deep. Five people already in the past 2 days. you can't believe it. I am at the seaside next week with Max and Georgina so I am hoping the high temps continue. xx
