The Weather Thread

[Andrew Walker]

I loathe hot weather. I'm a winter person.

I love all weather Hot cold sunshine rain They all have their place in the world

Summer a day of mid 30's and low humidity beats a day of 25 c and high humidity.
i don't mind nice clear winter days but a June or July night game at the SFS or SCG is not my idea of fun anymore.

Autumn when the days are still warmish but the nights are getting cooler is my favourite time .

Beautiful Autumn/Summers day here Work gone gym done Time for a cafe and the beach

Both of those are popular neutrals, especially the Hogs Bristle. It’s more a warm colour with yellow / brown undertones. White Duck from memory is slightly green undertones. Yes I’ve spent way too much time over the years agonising over Dulux white paint colours! If you find the HB is too strong you can also go half strength. Or quarter. We did a feature wall in each of the kids bedrooms in Grand Piano as well. It’s also a nice neutral but more a warmish grey or griege as they call it. Good luck choosing. Choosing whites really does my head in. In fact I’m trying to select a white for our toilet now. We had the bathroom renovated last year and used the same tiles in the separate toilet - only part the way up the wall. But the tiles don’t go well with the existing antique white paint on the toilet walls. So I’ve chosen Lexicon Quarter which will hopefully work. Will get a sample pot soon.

We have settled on hogs bristle for the bedrooms and magnolia for the kitchen/ lounge room (which is the colour that is there now ) unfortunately now the painter has put the job back about a month or so, was just getting primed to start moving things and packing breakables into boxes and also getting rid of clutter, at least now we have a bit more time to do things and maybe even have a rethink on colours.

We did have some rain in the early hours of the morning but its just overcast now.

It’s frustrating when tradies delay things and you’re all excited and raring to go. But like you say it gives you a bit more time at least to get things ready.
It’s a beautiful Autumn day here. 23 degrees predicted. March / April is my favourite time of year here with perfect temperatures and the trees changing into beautiful shades of red and orange. By Anzac Day it all changes though and the bitterness of winter starts to set in!

Lol yes, have to admit i wasn't excited about it and not looking forward to the disruption but i did want to get it done and out of the way, at least it gives us a little bit more time to really sort things out and pack things and get rid of things but hopefully the weather will still be ok when it comes around to the painting, don't want it being done when its colder and possibly damp.

Yeah good point, painting is more essential maintenance job than exciting and a pain to have to work around.

Quite humid here today. I just finished walking the fur baby and he’s pretty tired, hot and flaked out on the couch from it. It’s only 23 degrees but feels a lot warmer than that. Feels like we may get some rain but only small patches on the radar.

What a top afternoon on the beach sun shining brightly and not a cloud in the sky This is the life

An absolute scorcher here It has hit 35 where I am Time for the beach real soon

[horrie hastings]

Was so hot and humid today, air conditioning struggled down our end of the centre at work, it always does, one end is nice and cool while the other end swelters, centre management reckons its working perfectly down our end, yeah sure . Friends up the road from us are away for a couple of weeks so keeping an eye on their place, just been there watering their gardens, harvesting their tomato bush which is growing wild and spent about an hour and a half in the pool, just so relaxing after work.
