But we can't blame the council for the heatwave, so we just have to put up with Mother Natures tantrums. When I was kid in Miramar it was a lot hotter than Birchville is today. Our surrounding Birchville hill swerve the wind in circles and provides a cooling effect that keeps things a warm version of moderation. So I shrug my shoulders and pray for a decent downpour.
