Welllll....the mock orange must've embarrassed itself. They're all losing their blossom. We had the briefest of momentary sprinkles a couple afternoons ago. Nothing since.

The heat - currently 33.0 degrees, probably go up to 34-ish as previous days. Somehow it feels hotter than that. Humidity is disappearing, so it's not the humidity. Maybe it's the gasping dry sauna effect, just before you tip more water on.

First whirlwind 3 or 4 days ago, way too early, the grass and the weeds are all still green. Shouldn't get them until everything is a nice creamy beige colour again.

Gurd, don't send me to the NT in the Dry Season - I only ever go there in the Wet.
