Good morning everyone.
I have been outside watering everything in preparation for the high temps expected over the next week.
The forecast is for up to 41C by the middle of next week. Its already 24C.
It may not seem as hot as what our northern states here have had for weeks, but for my little corner of the country, its bloody hot.

The nicest place to be in the heat of the day is in the greenhouse under the mist sprays . but one does tend to get wet...lol

Not much doing here at the moment though.
The weeds are slowly drying off which is great, except that out across the farms and woodland that means lots of bushfire fuel.
I just hope the fires dont happen .

Al, I am thinking of you in the snow and maybe a trailer load would be nice .
I hope you are cosy & warm there.

Charleen and Moon, keep warm there even if you dont get the snow .
Charleen, I saw Charley early this morning.
Did he have a coat on ? Maybe he was just looking cold ..

Dianne, keep an eye on your bruggies etc as the heat climbs.
Get out that teeny weeny polka dot bikini.
Love Tillys vantage point to watch TV..

Anthony, how are things down your way. Is the heat forecast for you too ?
You will need your lace bikini if it is.
Give Mo & Cocky a scratch for me.
Look after those bulbs if it gets hot.

Colleen, thats a cute cat, pretty colors.
Colleen, you may find that with galahs that become pets and used to people, they can not be released but I have often had them and left the cage open during the day. I found that they would come out and wander around and if they did fly off, usually came back. If not, well I left it up to natural instincts.
Galahs born in captivity will no natural instincts developed are usually better staying in cages.
I do like to see birds that are caged, occupying very large cages or aviaries because they need exercise and room to open their wings properly.


Hello to anyone else looking in .
I am off to wander down to the letterbox before it gets too hot.

Heres a nibble and a cool drink for those that need one. ...Chocolate Butter Cake.
