Hi Lynette, welcome. I just saw on the weather network, a policeman in Queensland put a frying pan on the hood of his vehicle and fry an egg.

Welcome Lynette. Plenty of knowledge and interest here on Slippertalk in those lowly non-slipper orchids as well.

Welcome Lynette! I hope you and all our Aussie friends are safe. It seems every year I read about terrible heat and fires in Australia.

My GF said it was 117F somewhere in Aussieland today. Keep cool.

Welcome Lynette. Where are you from in Australia?

Welcome Lynette! I hope you and all our Aussie friends are safe. It seems every year I read about terrible heat and fires in Australia.

Last weekend was unbelievably hot. Quite a lot of blackouts caused by the intense heat. I was worried if there was a blackout at my place the orchids in my glasshouse would cook. Fortunately the only blackout we had was at 6.00 AM in the morning so no damage done.

I'm glad that had a happy ending, David. I hope it is always thus.

The demand for electricity was so high due to coolers etc the system overloaded.

That is nice to hear. I thought we were almost ready to go to war with the US at one point.
