New Year's Day

January 1 2006 was apparently the hottest day on record. It got to 45 degrees (113 fahrenheit) in Sydney, and as a result we didn't really go and do anything. Except for a short drive out into the countryside, where we stopped and had a drink and ice cream, before continuing back home. We were happy the journey was in an airconditioned car, and we ended up back in the airconditioned house....

After cooling down a little, we went out to dinner at an Indian restauarant. I'm not sure what happened to the 'cooling down' idea, but other people didn't agree with it. Hot, hot hot! That seemed to be their motto... Anyway, this is an amusing photo that was taken...

This is Deidre and I with David and Celeste.
