Hot......much hotter right now than Sydney, where Sandra lives! 35 deg an hour ago, and 16% humidity. Sandra lives in a sauna, we live in an oven.

And dry, so dry. Since late January we have had about eight (8) drops of rain. They fell a couple of evenings ago, I stood outside and counted them. Gardens are struggling, people are stressed.

This coming week is supposed to be a little cooler, but after Tuesday we won't be here. We'll be in Canberra for the Aussie National Folk Festival where it will be even cooler again! Yay and double yay! Coolth, wonderful coolth!

We have had enough warmth for a while.
