Say it isn't so!!

Can this be real? A screen shot taken yesterday (July 19) at 2 pm. And to think all my British friends are complaining about the heat! BTW, if my math is correct, 121 degrees Fahrenheit = 49.4444444 degrees Celsius (Get the guest room ready Annette. I'm coming to Australia for a visit!).

17 thoughtful remarks:

Julia Dunnit said...: good grief E, I hope that's not so..that's just dangerous. I'm not a complaining Brit, I am LOVING the weather, but thenit's a good twenty degrees C below wichita. Whew.; 12:05 PM, July 20, 2013
Halle said...: I hope that's a mistake!! We've finally cooled down here. Sitting outside doing a garage sale was pretty brutal with a heat index over 100°F.; 12:48 PM, July 20, 2013
Dianne said...: yikes...! stay cool, dear!; 1:31 PM, July 20, 2013
Dawn said...: OMG Elizabeth, that's scary!! I hope you and Bleubeard are OK?
Huge hugs x; 2:23 PM, July 20, 2013
Teri said...: According to Weather Underground, the high for Wichita, KS yesterday was 96*. Their all time high was 109 in 2006.

This web site has a great 'history almanac' at the bottom of each city's info page.; 3:25 PM, July 20, 2013
Rita said...: Good grief! What crazy weather there's been all over! I believe it is very real.; 6:23 PM, July 20, 2013
~*~Patty S said...: YIKES

and I thought it was hot here in the Wash DC area ... feeling like 105-110 with the humidity

I would say stay cool...but not sure HOW you do that

Take care E

p.s. I bet Bleubeard is not crazy about it either with his fur coat; 6:30 PM, July 20, 2013
Dandelion and Daisy said...: I was only in Kansas one time and that was 40 years ago but I think it was that hot when I was there!!! Anything over 90 is pretty uncomfortable. It sounds like a good time to hide out in the basement and make some cool art!; 1:13 AM, July 21, 2013
Anonymous said...: Oh wow, the heat this year has been incredible. We even hit 99 which we don't do in NE - well almost never. xox; 5:21 AM, July 21, 2013
Monica said...: just don't go out in it. Stay home, create and if all else fails watch netflix.; 11:36 AM, July 21, 2013
Jo Murray said...: Heavens to Betsy...that's VERY hot! Hope you have aircon.; 2:21 PM, July 21, 2013
Beansieleigh said...: Oh my word!! I've been miserable in the 90s, 'round here (no air, and the fans aren't helping much at this point)... And so you have my deepest sympathy! Stay cool and stay hydrated!.. As for the wooden dowels, I did leave you a message on my blog, just under your last comment. I'm very surprised and sorry they broke, and am wondering if you got them the same size as mine?.. If you try again, let me know. It really works well for me, so I hope it will for you too! ~tina; 7:46 PM, July 21, 2013
voodoo vixen said...: Good grief, that is like Saudi heat! I hope your basement stays cool-ish in this weather... you and Bleubeard can go hang out down there... in fact, I'd be dragging my mattress down there too! LOL
I'm sitting indoors feeling decdedly chilly this morning... can't seem to get the heat up above 17 degrees C... and that is too nippy to sit about scrapping... may have to go do some ironing! LOL
The spare bed is made up... get your butt over here and we can play in the cool.... ;); 9:24 PM, July 21, 2013
Linda Gibbons said...: Love your book, Elizabeth. What a great way to preserve and show this art set.; 5:25 AM, July 22, 2013
Deborah Weber said...: Your book is utterly awesome - what a perfect SOC project! Wishing you a much cooler week.; 10:38 AM, July 22, 2013
Craftymoose Crafts said...: "They" tell us we are getting a reprieve, but I really don't feel it. The temp may be lower, but the humidity is still high!; 11:16 AM, July 22, 2013
Kristin said...: Awe, WHAT a wonderful post! I love love love all the added paint chips to the front cover and LOVE having you play along this year. It always made me smile to see your name there on top and ready to go for the week. Thank you for all of your energy and time and for sharing your beautiful work with us all! xoxo; 2:21 PM, July 23, 2013
