Got up late both in terms of old and new time. Haven't change any clocks yet. Among the first pages I saw this morning is one about https://en.protothema.gr/amorgos-immers ... xperience/ an island which will have the honour to host a member of ours

Roast lamb + roast spuds and other veg for dinner today.

Seeing we're still here, I guess that asteroid thingy missed us.

Just went out for firewood: loud miouws from the catwalk under the carport roof. It's the missing cat. Must have been released from the garage it was locked in on Friday and only just came up here, not knowing we were here. Food & Milk provided.

Firewood ? hit 30c last few hours and there is a high haze >12,000'

It's nasty when it was 15c last week, plants dunno if it's New Year or New York.

I see from *RIS*'s link that they are destroying your paradise Island *ExA*

Currently 14° out and raining. Tram 7 forecast for Monday. We have stove lit and heating on.

We're in a red zone for fire risk. Hence rain welcome.

And with the morn, those angel faces smile...

Foot is now good, gout gone, so had planned a walk this morning. Unfortunately, it's raning steadily, and I have no intention of falling on my backside at the creek crossing again.

Raining, and has been since 6 this morning, more forecast for the rest of the day. Given that forecast, I feel another cup of Coffee is called for while I
peruse the forum.

As i type it's 00.09
outdoors there are 22of those c things, inside there are 25 of them. No heating on.
Peak was just after 17.00 31.4c in March ?

Henry has been a bit barky all night, as I was reading for the last follow I went to find him.
He was preoccupied with a small snake, seems to think they are toys.

Although this is not Australia some Spanish snakes are poisonous.
Just coming up on an hour and he is not dead yet.

Raining slowly but steadily here. Most happy about that as our Rainwater tanks were starting to get a bit low.

Morning folks. No house rules here for guests OFSO. Don't care what time they get up. Breakfast for them is is self service from the fridge or trees. RiS thanks for that. Wodders my chair was not featured thank goodness. Don't want it made a tourist attraction. Our lady seems happy with her basic accommodation. We ran out of water yesterday. Suspect our night guard of having showers.

Good Lord, what a lack of discipline. Guests here* have to be up at seven for breakfast, strict limits on use of showers with cheap tarif times. When finished, they are allocated jobs such as painting the railings or clearing the ravine of plants (men) kitchen tasks including bread-making, clay preparation (ladies). Lunch at 13:00, then guests have to go away while I have my siesta. Tea and one digestive biscuit per person at 16:30. Pre--evening tasks are clearing the wood stove and chopping firewood. Dinner at 18:30. National Anthem is sung at 21:30, flag down. Bed at 22:00, lights out at 22:10.

*Although it's been a long time since we had any, no idea why...

Well another day over and deeper in debt.
Been a high haze all day high 22C

Woke to a sickness and diarrhoea event of massive proportions, vomit in four different sights and a strip of diarrhoea 4m long.

Naturally, as we expect, I am useless until there is a clear up of this sort then I OK for the day. most men understand.

One is not cooking tonight.
