Yup, we batten down the hatches. Since nor'easter storms are frequent here you get really good at fastening down anything that isn't already attached!
Yes, I thought that may have been a global saying, cool

Hunker down is a very old expression here, meaning to squat-sit on your heels. Farmers probably did it when talking to a neighbor farmer about crops sprouting up. At least that was the reason my neighbor behind me gave when he would make me hunker down to talk to him about his garden!

Hunker Down is a game played at hurricane parties. You watch the weather report and every time the weatherman or news guy says "hunker down" you take a shot. By the time the electricity is out, you don't even care any more.
During Hurricane Ike, I got so smashed playing Hunker Down that I missed the storm!
Kylie I just love some of your expressions. Where you 'rug up' we 'hunker down'. I think I am learning a whole new language and having fun while doing so. Thanks for the education.
Our weather? Thanks for asking! It's glorious! For the first time in weeks we have all the windows wide open and I'm sitting in a relatively cool, dry breeze. *ah* I wish it would stay like this until Thanksgiving. Too bad we'll be closing up sometime Sunday as the hot, humid weather is headed back our way. Some are predicting 90s ALL next week, Monday thru Friday. Usually anything beyond 24 hours is conjecture and speculation, but we'll probably become Sweatville again. Might as well enjoy what we have have right now while it's here.

At 22h00, it's 26 C and feels like 33C. Muggy. I can hardly wait for that air conditioning to be installed on Friday.
A glorious 30C again today! (Absolutely rare for Britain). And absolutely marvellous for those of us who love the sun! Your winter is nothing like ours Kylie. But how do you feel about it?
Thanks CG.Oh my, taxy, I thought your AC was going to be installed LAST Friday! You are so going to melt this week. Want to come stay in our AC?
We're having temps in the 90s all week - roughly low to mid 30s in C. I fully intend to hide in the house the entire week, heading out only to make my weekly grocery run. I see three kinds of ice cream on my list - and two old juice bottles full of ice in a cooler.
