Skywatch Friday

 It has been a little warm here the past few days...36, 37 and 35 today ...

So warm in fact, that when I went for my usual walk late ths evening, I found it to be a little too warm, at still 31 celsius, and thus spent the next two hours tryng to cool myself down. Funny how the brain doesn't work too well when overheated took me a while to remember to have a cool shower. Even then I was still warm again almost immediately after wards. I was sure glad when a cool change flew through the kitchen window shortly after. Whew. Lucky. One would never know I did a first aid course a little while ago, and had almost forgotten how to cool down an over heated human body.

There has been a fair amount of smoke haze also from several bush fires around the ridges. Erg. Not good for people with asthma and respiratory ailments.
On a brighter note, the lorikeets (I call them, I think they might be called Rosellas) are back being loud and chirpy late afternoons in the trees. The jacarandas have also been rather spectacular lately, with their wonderful purple blue flowers. All over the city wherever one travels. A bright spot in a rather warm part of the year. Here is hoping it rains soon. Never thought we would be looking for and needing rain again so soon after the flooding rains of the last two years. Weird.
Hope you have a good week too, but perhaps a little cooler than 35 Celsius.
