My son Michael dropped over in the afternoon and is returning on Monday to dismantle the shed for me. LOL. Naturally with my sore shoulder I couldn't possibly do it myself and considering I have been trying to catch up with him for the past couple of weeks ... it was meant to be.

In the morning I had been going through my linen closet getting rid of all the extra sheets, blankets etc that accumulate over the years and of which you never use. Michael left last night with a big bag of 'stuff' and if he can't use than will hand over to his friends ; ).

I find that more and more I am handing over my extra things to people I know that need/want them because I found the charity stores (that are manned by volunteer staff) are sometimes selling clothes/linen for nearly as much as you would pay in a store.eg St Vinnes. You can still get a bargain at the Salvos stores =:-).

I was hanging washing on the line when I looked over towards my garden shed where I keep my lawn mower and saw that a piece of roof panelling had caved in, dropping dirt, dead leaves and assorted debris onto the mower and floor of the shed.

Not happy.

Its  hot outside...

and I don't want to deal with this mess right now especially after a large brunch and maybe a slight touch of  hangover/heat...maybe :)

Its funny I was only thinking yesterday afternoon, whilst wandering around the garden assessing what garden jobs need to be done, that it would be nice to get a new shed to get some of the clutter out of the garage but then again maybe I should just de-clutter the garage. 

Oh Dear! I think I will need to at least move mower to the garage just in case in rains tonight. Today was supposed to be my quiet day.

Its HOT

The last 3 days the temp has been around the 38-41Celcius. Too hot in the house for the dogs to get some relief,  at least, outside there is a breeze coming off the ocean on the other side of the hill.

Today, I drove up the F3 Freeway to attend my niece's baby shower,

Rachel and Colin 
where my sisters and other female relatives were going to enjoy a lovely girls afternoon. Rachel is due in 3 weeks and is feeling the heat. Her husband, dad, brothers and male relatives decided to stay and enjoy the cool air-conditioning.  It was rather :-) to watch them holding up and commenting on the tiny, tiny little clothes and a lot of (My Goodness!) so much stuff needed for such a tiny newborn.

 
Some relos.

Tomorrow and the rest of the week, the low 20Cs are predicted until the weekend when its back to the 30Cs.

Thank goodness, I like the heat and the hottest day can find me ironing, cleaning out cupboards and other energetic activities around the house.

wikiHow - The How-to Manual.

I have this "How-to..." gadget on my iGoogle page and as I passed by my computer I happen to glance at the computer screen. I saw the title of an article

- How-to-Shotgun-a-Bear -

continuing on my way I thought well I would think the most obvious thing would be -

1.  Get a shotgun
2.  Find a Bear
3. Do whatever......

I retraced my steps back to the computer and re-read the title. Ooops!  Beer not Bear.  I really need to get some new glasses.

and was stunned to see that it is now 38Celsius.

The time is 5.45pm DST in Sydney. WOW.

My new car a Hyundai Getz

which I bought in May this year has been worth its weight in gold. It is so lovely to drive a car that doesn't need constant looking after.
