Today was hot!! Not just Tassie hot when we get uncomfortable with anything over 25 degrees. l mean HOT!!! Nowhere l think in Australia sizzled more then we did today! We have several fairly big bush fires happening around the State with the wind pushing it down to the Huon so nowhere is free from the smell and the smoke. The Fire Brigades up there have put in a couple of huge days and nights. Lets hope the rain forecast for tomorrow comes through.
Everyone was hot today! Toggles and Lizzie wedged themselves between the cool rocks and would'nt stir!
Tinks braved the heat and sprawled out on the sunbed!!
The geese and ducks spent most of the day hovering around their water. Geoff turned the hose on them which of course they just love!
Geoff had got pretty fire ready 'just in case' (l was at work but he was home) We did in fact have a fire call out in Franklin but luckily it was quickly put out and didnt pose any threat at all. Still, the smell of wood smoke on a hot day is always pretty nerve racking!
Later in the evening when the sun had gone down we turned on the river pump and SOAKED the garden! So lucky! LOVE that river pump! All the flower beds got drenched. So did the goats, cows and Treeka!!!
Everywhere ended up wet and dripping. It smelt lovely and even the frogs started to sing!
Tomorrow l think our mini heat wave will be over. l hope so!
