Found yesterday on FB, as this:
 
 
Looking forward to! Last time we had a long period of 43C / 109,4F, wonderful!!!
 

 Ingo, how about Christmas in Perth again in 2028 (ho-huh, time runs!)...
 
This is for Tom´s Signs2 - Merry Christmas! 
 
 
"Our everyday objects and their unusual origin stories
 

 Kleenex
 
Before being used for nose-blowing, these face cloths were reportedly originally used as disposable gas mask filters during the First World War."
 
Ho-boy, can you believe this?!!!!

Yes, that was true, 39C on the first day of Summer! A bit too early for those temperatures, but back to 25C today, a lot better to be outside.

Iris Flavia said...

Aw, well, Sami... I look forward to hot! 8C right now here.

Loved Henry's regal mien.

Hello,
It is cold here, I would look forward to the warmer weather.
I have year round allergies and go through tons of kleenex.
Take care, have a great day!

I like Henry today. He looks warm. And I'm not sure I want it that hot, but seeing we're going into a very cold spell, maybe they could send a little of that heat my way. And I use a lot of Kleenex too with year round allergies and the dripping nose I inherited from my Mom. Happy mid-week. Hugs-Erika

RedPat said...

That is too hot for me, Iris. Maybe it is a dry heat?

CJ Kennedy said...

To Summery hot days! Only 199 days until the Summer Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere!

Iris Flavia said...

I love heat - it´s 7C right now...

Iris Flavia said...

Oh, sorry, Eileen, that must be so annoying with allergies! I had some day...

Iris Flavia said...

From end of January the heat stays in Perth please - for now... ask Sami ;-)
Oh, shoot with the allergies - am I lucky I have none! To warmth and a happy mid-week, hugs

Iris Flavia said...

Tom... ;-)

Iris Flavia said...

7C here... cold enough, can´t wait to go to Perth!

Iris Flavia said...

YES!!!!!

Iris Flavia said...

Perth is right by the ocean, so it´s a good heat, RedPat. I even saw joggers in 43C - and remember... the bitumen throws 30C back, so... I would not want to jog - too hot... but for leisure... wonderful!

Yippie ya, Schweinebacke!!!! (ho boy, the original is... ... us Germans are prude!).

Dear friend Iris, that kind of heat is unbearable for me! I am glad we are having Winter here in Montreal, it is to be minus 25C, and I do love the cold, because I can dress warmly for it. I love Winter and snow...I just need to be careful if it is icy, I make sure I walk slowly.
Henry looks beautiful, lovely colours!
Sending you much love and warm hugs.

Henry looks colourful and warm.

All the best Jan

Henry is very pretty today. We are having a hot spell, 30C yesterday and 34C today, but then back down into the 20-24C tomorrow. We have a howling wind outside too carrying hot air around. I hope the beaches in WA are safe, here in the South we have awful algae in the water and it is unsafe to swim, with people getting rashes and sore eyes.

Iris Flavia said...

-25C???? OMG, dear friend Linda - I´d freeze!!! Reckon we will never holiday together 😉 Henry says thank you and we send much love and warm, warm hugs 🥰

Iris Flavia said...

He´s a cozy guy!

Iris Flavia said...

Brrrr, that´s cold! Oh, yes I hope the water is OK in Perth then - I so look forward to a swim!

William Kendall said...

We get hot spells like that. I prefer the winter though.

Iris Flavia said...

Summer, please! And soon (end of January!).
