Cooler Today

After a warm but windy 30 degrees yesterday we awoke to a cooler forecast of about 25 today. The strong northerly has been replaced by a stronger south easterly today and some dark looking clouds. Made bikeriding this morning a bit more difficult!

We have a hibiscus plant in the garden. It has survived several replantings, being eaten by grasshoppers and bugs, being severely burnt by the exhaust of a small back hoe as the pool was dug and various shortages of water and food. However it continues to produce beautiful red flowers. The flowers open very quickly and usually last for about 24 to 36 hours before wilting and dropping.

By lunchtime tomorrow it will have been dropped onto the garden!
