how did you handle the heat?

I saw a guy driving an aircooled T3. I felt sorry for his poor engine. That was just cruelty. I had 43 degrees on my thermometer, in the shade, under the pergola. My house aircon couldnt handle the heat. It gave up after a few hours. What to do? see a movie... hang out at shopping centre until session time. Jumped in car and literally could not breathe. I wish I had chucked the thermometer in there for a while before we left. Mitsubishi aircon is gooood. Cabin temp dropped slowly... unlike engine temp which reached operating in a jiffy. But shock horror.... westfield was closed. Bastards. Decided to hang out in mcdonalds for a while. But their aircon was struggling too. Wonder what work was like today. Aircon there struggles on normal warm days. Went to cinema and theirs had died too! Might as well watch a movie in the heat than sit at home. Sweat was pouring down my legs. Narnia movie was OK. Waited till sun went down and headed to beach. Was there 20 minutes when howling southerly hit and sand blasted our legs off. BASTARD. Wondering what would have happened if this heat had struck ... today (monday) I'll be sitting at the cricket getting slow roasted and probably plastered as well. Would they have played in todays heat? What would have happened if itwere this hot NYE??? everybody wanting to be out and about, partying, drinking, dehydrating.... there must be a god. Anyway.... what calculating heat busting methods did you use?

When it was 42 degrees here last week, Egeworks and I stayed in his room with nice cool aircon and played pc games.... 😂 Except I had to drive back to my place to get some stuff and head back to his, my poor Bug doesn't like hot weather! I must have lost about 5kgs from driving my car that day, it was worse than a sauna. :duh
