You mean the 'zimmer inferno, burn wheelies burn'.
I've just come back from Adelaide. Too hot - 35 degrees for a week, so
we had to catch taxis everywhere, even down the corner to the pub. It's
that time of year when air-con becomes an attractive idea. I heard one
visiting Englishman assure us that they had just been digging
cauliflowers out of the snow where he came from (Cornwall?). Could this
be true? He was a writer chappy (name of Patrick Gale) so maybe he was
embellishing.
Cheers,
Jill
