Suffering Succotash! That is hot.


Well we finally have some proper snow in Vienna. Sissi has been out on the terrace to (briefly) have a look at it and I have been over to Stadtpark to take some photos.

Stadtpark always looks good but particularly so after snow.   It is  not really cold though – so the pond has not frozen over.

There was a man feeding the pigeons – and if any ducks came near him he chased them away. Strange behavior indeed.

In the meantime Australia is baking in record high temperatures. As reported in the Sydney Morning Herald – Australia has started 2013 with the hottest days on record.

“And the country has set a new national average maximum of 40.33 degrees on Monday, beating the previous record - set on December 21, 1972 - by a "sizeable margin" of 0.16 degrees”

Suffering Succotash! That is hot.

  1. i have been following the australian thing. poor folks. the hot weather is still yet to come apparently with 45 expected. tasmania no longer exists i read and there is a gang running around sydney that is attacking people in bed with machetes. new zealanders are having problems with quads. apparently the worse ones are the hobbits.

  4. Yesterday and today have been pleasantly cool - 24C. Well, compared with Tuesday's heat:-)

    But the heat did mean we had to take precautions against dehydration - something that those at 66 White Street do quite effectively...

  8. simon: I think you will need a few collides to get you through this heat wave.

    Me: It makes me realise how lucky we are.

    Annie: Don't forget to add water to the whiskey

    Sandy: Yes people would die in droves without air con.
