It was 40C when we arrived and there were bushfires again, infact the bushfires burnt down our power supplies so much of Melbourne was in a black-out. No electricity in the middle of a 40C day!
Moreover with stage 3 water restriction in force meaning watering of gardens can only be done in early mornings or late evenings 2 days of the week, all my plants suffered and some are dead!
The forecast for today was for another hot day but I'm glad they got it wrong when it only reached 34C early morning and then quickly the cool change came through and cooled everything down.
I think I'll have to give up gardening and find a different hobby that won't require water. Its disheartening to see all my plants dried up and died like that. *sigh*
Well at least the fish did OK, they're still alive and kicking. The house is a mess and lots need to be done and I'm going back to work tomorrow. I'll do them slowly, one thing at a time..
