With the G20 getting underway in Brisbane today leaders from all around the world are present. The city of Brisbane is in 'lock-down' and what would have taken you 15 minutes to walk a week ago takes you over an hour today.They even declared a Public Holiday in Brisbane for yesterday and with heat-wave conditions forecast for the weekend, thousands upon thousands of Brisbaneites fled the city for the beach on the 'long' weekend.
The road between Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast was 'chockers' yesterday with traffic reduced to a crawl along the major highways as people fled the city!
Caloundra is 'packed' as well with people making the most of the extra holiday and hot sunny weather.
They are talking about 40º for Sunday and 35º for today! But it is like when we lived in Melbourne, the heat is accompanied by a strong northerly wind. Strong winds and nearby shrubs and trees does not go well with my pool I am afraid. Speaking of which, the pool is close to 26º right now at 7:40 am.
The air-conditioner may get a good run tomorrow as we prop inside, with me watching the cricket of course! I may even give my usual bike ride a miss as well. Stinking hot winds does not make for a pleasant bike riding experience.
I am just about to hit the shower and get ready to head off to Computer Club.
It will be a great day for getting the washing dry today!
Today's top temperature will depend on when the sea-breeze can be strong enough to burst through and temper things down a little.
It will be cooler by Monday which is when Trish and I head to the Gold Coast for three nights. We got ourselves a cheap deal around 6 months ago, three nights in a 4 star hotel in the middle of Surfers Paradise for around $200!
We are looking forward to it.
