Yeah, 40°C is way too warm for me. I feel sorry for the people who's balconies have had their walls removed but have not been finished yet. Neither one thing or the other. I was a bit concerned that the brine for the turkey might freeze, but it didn't.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087140585742801854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-68742147311710358702016-12-28T20:46:32.989-05:002016-12-28T20:46:32.989-05:00That is very backwards of your landlords.

It's so funny to read that you use your balcony as a fridge. We are about 28C here in Queensland. I think it's getting to 40C in Sydney today.

I have got round to be able to order 250 grams of deli meat or something, but mostly the measures don't mean anything to me. Of course the US is the only country (as far as I am aware) who do NOT use metric and I was happy as a clam with US measures.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087140585742801854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-44087813248779810462016-12-28T15:08:46.923-05:002016-12-28T15:08:46.923-05:00I'm a metric bakers, 100 percent.

I found a company in the state that performs that service and set it up. To this day I have not had to ever pay my bill with a check. It just happens automatically and I get an email verification. The cost to the township was minimal for the convenience to its residents. Too bad your landlords can't move into the 21st century.
