  1. Yes Here in Australia there are extreme heat rules to protect workers.
  2. There will be 2 reasons you are seeing no bees. Bes really struggle to keep a hive cool in extreme heat. Every available bee will be fanning heat out of the hive. It is critical for hive structure as if it gets too hot in the hive the wax melts and causes catostropic collapse. The front of the hive will have hundreds of bees all the way out fanning like mad. They will also be bringing in water to fan as well Secondly in extreme heat flowers shut down nectar production to conserve water for the plant
  3. only my 5th one arrived at my due date. number 2, 3 and 4 were induced. number 4 was over 3 weeks late.
  4. Ohh I missed the creator of the world I will have to look that up for a laugh. I had a good laugh about the 2 naked men running though the bush and having all the police, SES and helicopters out to rescue them.
  5. I do feed the chooks on the way back from milking. To milk the cow I sit with my legs under the cow and my head almost resting on the cow. the clothes become very cow smelling. and as I am not the most perfect squirter, they get the occasional splash of milk on them. I wash them about once a week or if they become soiled with manure. but they are not something I want to be walking around in for extended periods of time. I keep the milking clothes sacked neatly under my side of the bed. out of sight
  6. Some think like a woollen top od a jacket gets put away the second I take it off
  7. Pjs go under the pillow My milking clothes only get worn for 40 minutes every day. I keep them in a neat pile. Everything else I wash every day
  8. If you drink lots of water to keep hydrated and get that whooshing water in the tummy thing then putting a small piece of rock salt on your tongue can help.
  9. I am sure that would taste very, nice but the pickling process gets the pickling flavour right through the beetroot. Just like drizzling a bit if vinigar on some cucumber isn't the same as pickling it. We use raw grated(shredded??) beetroot on things like tacos, but it isn't the same as the canned beetroot in a hamburger
  10. Safeway and Woolworth here in Australia are the same shop. Some states like Vic called it safeway, but in the last year or they are all referred to as woollies. I believe safeway here is completely different to the safeway in USA from previous discussions
  11. It seems to be popping up everywhere. Darwin is having a snap lockdown, as is some part of Perth. Unfortunately someone went to work at a remote goldmine and caught it on his way there. It was not found until after shift change and many people had flown to cities all across the country. 900 people work at that mine. NSW had 30 new cases today. I cannot understand why the state borders haven't shut yet, but I am sure it will happen very shortly
  12. Unbelivable I guess of no testing is done then nothing can be found. I heard that the current outbreak of delta strain in Sydney is from an American flight crew in transit. The transit driver here in Australia caught it then it spread. The genome testing seems to indicate this If countries like USA are still making testing hard/not bothering/ no wonder it can not be brought under controland continues to spread everywhere.
  13. really bad sunburns can lead to skin cancer. you only need 1 really bad sunburn to potentially lead to skin cancer a few years later.
  14. Did he have sunscreen on? and if he did could he be having a reaction to the sunscreen. I ask because I am allergic to sunscreen. the last time I used it (14 years ago) my face swelled up double in size and was red- looking just like sunburn. I went to the GP. it was so so painful I felt completely miserable. the GP said my skin was covered in millions of super tiny blisters from the sunscreen. I cannot remember what the treatment was or even if there was a treatment , but I do remember I spent I think 2 days in bed. full sympathies to your son
  15. Here Lego are not allowed in the bedroom. We have bedroom toys and toys that get played in the loungeroom. Lego is one of those things that get lost so easily under beds.
  16. To get the pfizer I would need to travel over 300 km. and I would need to book well before hand. people over 60 can get Astra Zeneca at the local medical clinic with an appointment
  17. I cannot work out the total for NSW. Some sources are saying 13, some 16and some saying more but some of the numbers will be tomorrow numbers. Talk about making things confusing
