Pretty warm day today.
30C+ definitely.
Had a nice snorkel getting some various species of Urchin for an establishment's display & touchy-feely tank along with feeding its Crayfish for the onlookers.

Then later went for a nice cool swim at the beach to chill out like a fine wine.
It's nice when the beach has slow gentle meandering waves and not dumpers to fight through. So relaxing.

Had to help try and float a half-sunken old Ferry in Shoalhaven River last year. I wouldn't dive in it when it was cloudy and murky from rains. Don't like to give those Bull Sharks an easy meal. Other than that - on better days, used to watch them swim past me with 10m viz. They weren't game to come in close when I could easily see them.

The weather station outside my backdoor hit 39 today. On a summers day that has I sea breeze my place will be 10deg cooler than the west subs but when there's a westerly, it can get a bit hotter as the wind blows the hot air from the city and subs which gets superheated from all asphalt.

I hit the beach with Baby G at about 900 and it was 35 by 11.

No arvo swim tho, CBF leaving the air-con

Where I live the waters are with long sand banks... surfing and such is not fraught with devil sharks, but no real break....

It's funny how coastal areas can be so different... I watch the waves and where there is too much sand, there is no real break.. but when there is a slow and steady rise from down below, the break, with the right wind, can be monumental.

One winter's day - Catherine Hill Bay - six foot and glassy.... and NO predators.... traveled three or four beaches and saw nothing... suddenly there it was - the perfect break...... pure glass....

But that was a long time ago....

Ah those perfect spots. Some sections of the coast have miles of un-inspiring beach breaks. They yo have the pass at Byron, Crescent Head etc.

I removed the toilets from my Harris Park apartments as they're surpluses to requirements.

They went to a nice Chinese family in Ashfield.

Yes, but you included the faecal matter.

Nice touch that.

What temp do you set the controller to?

I like 22, if it's too warm, you tend to get lethargic.

22 keeps me active and working.

But what temp does it actually achieve?
I set mine in my home to 22 and it makes a comfortable 23-24

In my car, I set it to 20, but it rarely gets that cool, usually around 24.

At night I set it around 23 to sleep.

The darling complains if I make it any cooler.

We got 36 today... and a full day outside the house and out of town with no air con going in it... ages to cool down...

The ex cannot control body temperature - feels hot in winter at times and cold in summer... if she was diagnosed with Parkinson's she'd get a power discount on top of all the others... I can be rugged up to the max and she will have the air con on... or I can throw off all the blankets and she will be rugged up....

Going to Tasmania for a break - cool down there.

If I turn air con on anywhere - it is full low... the ex and I used to live east of the snow country.... I love the chill... and the car needs re-gassing - it's only cool....

Think I'll go live in The Rockies.... plenty of A neg Indians around there.... a derivative of the Sioux...
