Well here I sit listening to Chain Reactions - the steps cover, accompanied by the washing machine going full pelt in the background accompanied by a grumbling stomach. 'tis 9 in the evening on a Sunday and no work tomorrow - yippeeeee.

So what has been happening? Good question. Well today has been a rather quiet one - bit of housework, repotting plants, going to gym, tidying and reading a couple more chapters of Loves Executioner. Also caught up with J for lunch - were inside watching the rain and cloud pass.

And yesterday was the hottest day on record - 47. something - was full on. Spent most of the day indoors - was too much - and was mega windy too. Went out to get the papers at lunchtime - boiling. Went to the petrol station and felt like staying there for the rest of the day - their air con was the biz.

Watched fair amount of coverage of the bush fires as well yesterday and today - horrific. 76 dead so far - and rising constantly - some of the stories are just full on - people being found in charred cars and in their houses, whole communities wiped out - kingslake and another town marysville have basically become ash - full on. What is even worse is that they think some of the fires were started by fire bugs - all it takes is a cigarette butt carelessly thrown into the scrub and 200 hectares goes up in smoke.

Thankfully the temperatures dropped about 15 degrees between 5 and 6 which was handy as went to see Zanadont with the posse. good fun even though the theatre's air con had conked out - poor actors were sweating buckets.

Grumbling stomach needs addressing - more soon!
