warm, weather.

tabsey says:

38 degrees here and a day of little action. Needed the day to get over the debacle that is the Australian cricket team. Throwing away the Ashes.

Sorry to hear that Australia's cricket team lost.

Hope the weather improves and we don't have another round of those savage fires.
