Just spotted this thread. Yes HOT!!!! We had 40C today and although tomorrow was supposed to be 36 I see now they've up'd the ante and made it 41C
Too damn hot for anything!! Today I left Bimby at Miss 3's day care and popped by at lunch time and whizzed up some banana/strawberry sorbet for the kidlets for a cool down. (I work only a few km's away from there so very handy!!) Tomorrow I'm supposed to be prepping for the Corowa and Wang cooking classes
so don't like the idea of the oven being on
To top it of Miss 3 has come down with a bad cold and is still calling out in her sleep. Hopefully stiill ok to ship off to daycare cos I just cant have her at hoe and get everything else done. When she's feeling like that it's hardly fare to take her out in that heat to run errands!
Sorry a bit off topic but all heat related.
So I sympahise with anyone else stuck in this disgustingly early heat! What happened to Spring this year??
At least it's back in the midish 20's on the weekend for the cooking classes!!!
You're right Thermomixer - not good for the grapes. At about 32 or 36C the vines actually shut down and don't ripen the fruit (all part of mother natures way of preserving the plant). Up to there it's a very fast ripening process.
