For Our Aussie Mates

[Geoff Winnington-Ball (RIP)]

Just wanted to let you know that while you're wallowing in the misery of mid-winter down there, we're sweltering up here. The last week in Toronto has been hell-on-earth - mid 30s in temperature but corrected for humidity, mid-forties. With no air conditioning, we're dying up here... and I feel especially sorry for our poor cats who have to walk around all day in fur coats. The only relief they get is early mornings and late evenings out on the deck, but those times are plagued with roving raccoons, who also come out to play (I'd love a silenced .22 pistol right about now).

Anyway, I know you're suffering right now, but so are we - misery loves company?

Cheers,

Jif
