Some kind of a record or something...

Melbourne is melting. Again.

A few minutes ago it was 45.6°C (113.72°F).

The hottest temperature ever recorded in Melbourne, prior to today, is 45.6°C (114.08°F) in 1939.

OMG! We are 0.1°C away from breaking the record for hottest temperature ever recorded in Melbourne.

EDIT: According to the Bureau of Meteorology website, Melbourne's highest temperature today (so far) was 46.4°C (115.52°F) at 3:04PM.

For the love of the Impala, stay inside!!

I just read a news report about the fires down there. I hope they stay far, far away from you. *hugs*

There wasn't much else we could do on Saturday. It was just too hot to do anything.
We were very lucky and have not been affected by the fires. So, so many other people weren't so lucky.
*hugs*

I'm glad you're not affected. The news was so bad, even though it didn't sound like it was that near you, I was worried.
