Thank you Ebbie.
Tangledwood I wish you'd tell that to our pet Rooster. He's not convinced. I have to chase him around his enclosure with a watering can of water. I remember chooks dying, in spite of one-on-one care, during the heat-waves of my childhood.
Scary thing is -- This one's the worst on record and it follows 13 years of way-below average rainfall.
The wind's swung around -- it's getting to be Fan-forced oven land outside. Might bring our little Ringtail Possum inside -- hanging basket and all. He's been through so much already.
The gutters on the roof are filling up with dry leaves again -- still there's a good chance we'll avoid a bushfire -- there's nothing left to burn on the paddocks around us.
Cheers, Joy
