Good morning tooting friends. Awake super early again & out the door for a walk with the dogs before 6am & it’s smelly & little smoky out there affecting my eyes. It was 14c this morning, so way cooler than it has been. Supposed to get to 31c today which is ok by me - no hotter though please. Amazing sky first thing with the glow from the sun before it rose fully showing its colours on some streaky cloud.
I felt like my head was in swivel today, not only rabbits 🐇 , but I also spied a fox 🦊 & then on the other side of me I heard a lot of noise as somethings went bouncing through the bush it was three kangaroos 🦘 taking off, a bit further on & in the same direction I saw the fox was a whole mob of kangaroos 🦘 & they also took off. Heading back towards town & passing an old farmhouse & the front garden is full of Ibis & again, they take off, at least 30 of them. The dogs & I must have seemed like a threat this morning 🙃.
My legs feel like I’ve got shin splints as they’re a bit sore from all the walking lately. It will pass though. Today I’m heading to Rutherglen with a friend who tells me there’s a market on. I usually avoid markets nowadays, but decided some plants might be on offer!
Have a great #Sunday everyone, stay safe out there & stay cool 🌻. #Weather #HouseSit #PetSit #AussieSummer #MorningWalk #WildLife

G’day Fedi friends. It’s only 8.45am & it has just hit 31c - it’ll reach the max of 43c sooner than I’d like. All my jobs for the day are done. I got up at 5.30am & I was lovely & cool with the aircon on all night but it was already 24c outside so I threw on some clothes & got the dogs ready & off we went for a walk - only about 4km but I was sweating as we arrived home. The only other people out & about was the postie already on his rounds & the rubbish collectors. Smart time of day to do it, smart time of day to walk these dogs 🐕 🐕. That wasn’t all we saw though, new kerbside plantings by the council of the gorgeous Lacebark trees, I’d love one myself, but they grow huge. Heaps of rabbits around 🐇 & a number of Roos 🦘🦘
Gave the dogs their breakfast, put food out for the cat & grain for the chooks. Had a shower & am only just finishing my coffee now. The house is shut up & the aircon on. The rest of the day will be pretty laid back. Some yoga stretching, reading, watching the box, playing some games, online jigsaws - so really not much at all.
It’s going to be a doozy of a #Friday so if you have to go out take water with you & try to stay cool, take care 🌻. #Weather #AussieSummer #Heatwave #HouseSit #PetSit
