According to the computer, temperature here is down from 39C to just 30C, but feeling like 34, so still hot, dry, and stuffy. Still, I can'y complain. I made it through two sweltering days in one piece. Just been out to pick up another bucketful of leaves, I'm determined to keep the paths clear. Did a bit of watering too, but not much. I'm hoping for rain, but not convinced we'll get any.

I did find some of my colouring books, but not all of my colouring pencils. Still, I was able to relax with some colouring this afternoon, even if half the time was spent sharpening pencils.
