Australia restricts liquid on flights over terror fears (NZ Herald 8.12.07)
( For later reference )

Restrictions will be introduced late March, so fine for going over for CF, but those traveling over for Festival should watch out.
Wonder if this affects duty free alcohol, or if it is purchased behind security lines it is ok. Otherwise the duty free industry would be up in arms howling. Haven't heard anything about it in the news over here (but it was released today I think. Wonder if they will try and hush it up...

A weather update

28 degrees out by 8am.
34.6 degrees out by 10:30am.
[Edit: 39.5 degrees out by 3pm.]
[Edit3: 36 degrees 8pm. And it cracked 40 at 2:30pm and wobbled round there for a while before slowly starting to cool after 6pm. Really need a local thermometer to check out differences/variations in the local microclimate.]
Predicted high for today is 38 degrees.

I think I will be making use of the air-conditioning when it gets above 35 degrees. The house is well insulated, so it takes a while for the heat to soak in, but you can feel it building.

[Edit2: And tomorrows prediction is for 41 degrees, with 28 overnight.]
