Re: An Unusual Summer for the UK


 

We have been having overnight and some mornings in single figures. We have electric blanket on, big heavy Doona on, log fire on on occasions. We've also had high winds and one of our big trees came down -- fortunately not on top of us driving out but it was there when we came back from an appointment and $5000 roughly to get it removed - what a job. My husband has been busy burning the monster stump so he's been keeping warm out there.?
When the temps get up here ( and it does it a lot in the sub tropics ) I turn my Mac off when it gets to about 33-35Deg C.

We don't have aircon though the house stays pretty decent as its double brick and has 8ft verandahs all around (about a 40square roof area) which means we can walk about out there in all weathers under cover. ?We have talked about aircon particularly for the room where the computers are and our bedroom but have never done it. ?Sounds like the heat might have got to your gear particularly if you still had it running. ?

I do photos with my little old iPhone SE and they're pretty good, but the new iPad takes very good photos. ?I do have a camera but its an ancient Canon Digital Rebel. Its software hasn't been supported in a while but I can rip the card out and put it in a card reader and transfer pix that way. My iPhone is first edition of the SE, husband has a 2nd edition one and its behaving brilliantly. ?Apple brought out a SE version 3, but by all accounts the battery on them is not wonderful. So I am thinking on the matter and the jump to the 13 S is big dollars. My favourite tech says not worth me changing battery at $75 - much better to put the money to a new phone. ?
