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.

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.

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 caught up on some housework that has been neglected.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

Katie, that’s very hot. Poor Chook. I read somewhere that people were bringing their pet chooks inside during this heat wave.
The heat seemed to continue well into the night, even though there was a change.
I didn’t go to book club it was just too hot to go out.
My pinched nerve is finally recovering. It is a month since it started. I’m able to reduce the pain killer.
Today, clean out veggie draw in fridge.

Chookie DH said the same thing afterwards . I made DS check on our cats and work dog . DH Checked the livestock . The cool change helped , but I’m sure the heat got to me , as I felt unwell all night . All good today . Thank goodness no dry lightening. Did a quick clean out of the kitchen food . House is hot , cooled down a little this morning .

We had the tree people in today to trim the hedge along our back fence.  The hedge was about 6 mts tall and they have reduced it by about a third.
The  man who said it can't be done should not interupt the woman doing it.

Afternoon Tea with Probus.
Most unusual thing happened yesterday. The Pharmacy where I get my medicines said they couldn’t provide one of my medications. Also none in warehouse. Suggested I shop around.
Still quite warm. 30 today.
Has everyone noticed all the posts everywhere about the TMX 7?  Feels like going back to 2009 when I got my first TMX.
