Mini heatwave and a victory for the ladies, and the Wanderers.

 Today was normal but the last couple of days have been anything but  hot hot hot and yesterday a big storm well lots of thunder, lightning and wind and a fair bit of rain needed two buckets in the kitchen but the rain didn't last long but it picked the garden up it was looking very thirsty, as were the rest of us.

 Three weeks ago my tree had a small patch of dead leaves now dead as a doornail, I 'm at a loss to understand it but it was a pine and has been in my garden for twenty years so maybe it's come to the end of it's time.

 It's mate was planted round about the same time but still going well.

 Lots of grapes this year for the beer fairy, I can't eat them anymore.

 I found another flower on my broms.

 So many places that are shady, they are needed in the heat.

 Hooie checking out the other side of the gate, she stays home a lot more now the two homes in our block have been built and the owner's have moved in.

 Our neighbour looking very english in his cap, well he is almost English he is from WA.

 Of course Drummy wants to see who we are talking to.

 And Kidney too

 My tiny tiny rose

 and the big bully boy that grows next to it.

 Would you believe this tree is growing out of solid concrete in my driveway.

 It's a fair size.
