Michael,
Yesterday was very hot hitting 41C. Cooler today maximum anticipated to reach 34C. At least storms are on the list for the next several days to a week. I'll see how it goes with my car.
I have relatives arriving today. These are from Malta though arrived and have stayed in Melbourne for over a month. I have not seen these in person since the 1996 trip to Malta. For my aunty, this is the first time in Australia.
