Good afternoon cold here as well - supposedly 14 deg don’t believe it - has been one of those nights when the brain just would not switch off so decided to give my nephew who is a surgeon in London a call - sometimes we strike it lucky with the time zone - he said the heat over there is frightening - he grew up in Perth so is used to it - said it’s all the concrete and tarmac- his hospital had just started to get back to pre covid numbers but he expects surgery to be put on hold again as the hospital will fill with heat casualties.Life is no longer simple wherever and whoever you are I am beginning to believe.He said there was a group of them sitting with their feet in a fountain and he looked across and a school friend of my kids was cooling off as well - they had a good laugh about resilient kiwis - both work in the same hospital but hadn’t met

We have had the vet come to our house when the time comes for quite a while now - the last thing they remember is home not a struggle getting into the vet surgery - am so tempted to get another dog there is a lovely one in this mornings paper in the Hastings pound but if I couldn’t cope and had to go and live with one of the kids it just wouldn’t work - they both have dogs and cats that wouldn’t appreciate an interloper
The first bloom on the huge magnolia in the reserve has just popped out - the tree is about three stories high so is magnificent when it’s in full bloom - have had to up the rat poison in the shed - beside the magnolia is a huge walnut tree rat heaven - one bonus of having no roof cavity not only is there no insulation there’s no room for rats
Better go and scratch around for something for lunch or it will be dinner time before I know it - all out of sync with no sleep
