Something to Melt Your Brain


My best friend, "KT Wong" moved to Fremantle, Western Australia 18 months ago. She was explaining how hot is has been over there at Christmas time (the hottest place on earth one day over Christmas) and I had trouble getting my head round the following...
It is cold here in England, I have my heating turned up to 22 degrees C to keep warm. It is hot in Aus. (about 40-44 degrees C) and KT has her air con turned up to 25 degrees C to keep cool. HOW DOES THAT WORK?
Anyway, do I feel sorry for KT and her hubby sitting in the spa all day to keep cool? (Nah) Wandering off to the country to spend time in their place there? Not to mention the resident wild possum that lives in the boat in the roof of the outhouse. (Why are all my friends sooo eccentric?)
