Today has been epically hot 47 . 45-46 all arvo . DH spent morning preparing for possible fires and putting gear away . I moved sprinklers all day . DH was overheated ! Beetroot red - so quick cold wet facewasher and a shower . Watched the Tennis . Sadly my one and only chook did not survive the day .. I was sad . Cool change but still very warm and air conditioner battling . Awaiting the dry lightning, oh I hope not . Hope everyone is ok .

I picked up quite a few packets of fruit and veggies on the clearance table this morning, good quality too. Have made a batch of capsicum and onions for omelettes or pizzas in the TM7, boiled some potatoes and eggs for a salad (TM31), made a refreshing drink of watermelon, cucumber, lemon juice and olive oil in the NutriBullet, froze slices of watermelon and cucumber for more of these drinks, chopped up 3 peaches to eat with ice-cream. Cut up and froze 2 of the 3 avocados to add to my smoothies and kept the very firm one for salads. I still have a bunch of bok choc and 8 apples to deal with.

It was 23° here today. Beautiful. I feel for those of you that are getting our heat.

Don’t feel bad cookie, you’ve had these temperatures for years and although we used to follow you 3 days later it all of a sudden changed a few years back and somehow they missed us. High temps for extended periods had to happen sooner or later and I’ve been pleased for you that you’re cooler than us for a change.

I spent most of the day rearranging and cleaning out storage shelves. Very good feeling.
I’ve got a small machine that makes ice blocks. Very handy in this hot weather.
Book club today.
Very very hot.

Cookie, could be the flour water ratio. I’m finding in this hot weather I’m adding more liquid. In fact quite a lot more. However the recipe is quite solid, not fluffy like the bought ones. I think the amount of fruit retards the rising. Adding improver may give a lighter bun.
The small loaf I made yesterday was oat, yogurt and maple syrup. Lovely. I can’t resist fiddling with the recipes. This made a beautiful ham and salad sandwich.

Half of our house is tiled flooring so I spent most of the day moving everything out of the way, vacuuming then mopping the floors and putting it all back together again - the only trouble was, it was so hot that the wet areas were drying almost as soon as I mopped them so I am sure I re-mopped the same bits of floor many times!  Ah well, at least I know it is clean now.
