Today was like yesterday - too cool outside in a summer dress but a bit warm in the car and just right in the house! I slept in until 8.30 am and #2 chooky didn't like that at all! I had another cat nap at mid-morning and now feel something like human again. It is 25C in the house and that will have been the max outside today. Funny summer we're ( Read more... )

So, I started the day unsuspectingly and a little slowly by getting up and letting the chook(s) out at 5.30 am but #2 chook was still in laying her egg. Then I had a cup of herbal tea. I made my way into town leisurely because first I wrote out all my Christmas cards (except for your OS people - not going to be able to do that) but then I got home ( Read more... )

Old Flame got to his home bang on 9 pm last night, just as he thought he would. He had something to eat and went straight to bed. This morning he got up about 7.30 am and was up here by 10 am to start putting the mushroom vent in. He had a drink of water when he was half way through because he was puffed from going up and down the ladder, then had ( Read more... )

Old Flame is really pushing it. He found the 'mushroom' ventilator at his home today but did not install it. Instead he had a rest and then went down the coast late this afternoon after the worst of the traffic had cleared and it was cool. It will probably not be as quick a run as he would like because there will be people out there Christmas ( Read more... )

Today was sunny and much warmer. It got up to about 25C but was 29C down the coast and in the big city. A perfect day, as far as I'm concerned and the washing got nice and dry, too ( Read more... )

Today ended up being showery and cool all day. About 21C max today - 1 degree C cooler than yesterday. So, yesterday we had a low passing through from west to east (as they do) but today the wind had veered to the SE and we were getting moisture off the sea! Now that much fell. The most I heard of was 10mm at one place and 9 mm at another. My water ( Read more... )

Today was a much cooler day, max about 22C and light rain. Still, I braved it to go to the village market and stock up on fresh produce. There was even a man there selling free range organic eggs! (Not that I needed any; I have too many as it is.) He is selling dozens and dozens a week, and he still has lots! A man who makes cakes has contacted him ( Read more... )

Yesterday was a fairly hot day, tempered by cloud. I parked in the main street where there is no shade, so my car got pretty hot at first but then it cooled down, so that was good :) I was in so many air conditioned places that it was a pleasure to walk down the warm street and be in the warm car :) I gave Bike Man a lift home and told him about a ( Read more... )

Today was about the same temperature as yesterday. Yesterday was a nice sunny day and I got lots of washing done, but today I planned on washing sheets, but didn't. It was still very warm with the sun glowing through the clouds ( Read more... )

It was a nice warm day, today. Not too hot and not too cold. But I did too much and now I am tired ( Read more... )
