That timber behind you is a worry at the moment. Sue hope last night did not happen and you are still safely tucked in bed. Will talk later this morning. Had phone in hand to ring yesterday & neighbours wandered over for a cuppa. Have you spoken to J & B since their big decision?

So far all is looking good, even after that bloody heat wave that lasted all day...

Think it was 49.8c or similar in Penrith whilst we had 48.?c sumthing.

Dunno how anything could possibly survive in that heat.

Changed the water in the 3 bird baths as it was obvious those that were not hibernating from the heat were looking for some cool water... so they
got it.

Quite a bit of bathing after each refill.

Thanks for all your kind thoughts - appreciated.

"tanks" here--- Chuck & Kat,
Up here at the Dysart Bunker there is no smoke, no fire, the temp is around 38c to 40c.
I change the 3 bird baths three times a day so as the birds have cool water, and I put the sprinkler on under the mango tree for them when they are around and 'singing' in the tree while they eat the mangos.
Happy little birds. Major does not like the black crows and he hunts them away when the smaller birds are around having a drink.

When the river pump decides the gods are pleased and the planets align so it will run as intended, the birds collect in the front yard trees and do aerial ballet through the sprinkler spray trying to wet every part of themselves on each pass. When the centre sprinkler is going they try to do acrobatics while perched on the top bar to get a wash under the wings and wet the body down .... some are better at it than others with a few getting the full water spray and throwing them off in that direction All the bigger river birds collect under the shade of the tree by the river and stand in the water in an attempt to keep cool, maybe I should add a water spray down there as well.
I hope the fires stay away from your house Chuck and you get to rest easy under the air con .... as long as the power stays on ......

T1 Terry & Margaret
