Good morning everyone, a much cooler day than yesterday with temps in the mid 20s.

Only a few fires in the state and none near me. Actually where I live yesterday’s heat was a bit of a fizzer, it didn’t get as hot as predicted and the winds were much lower than predicted, that is not to say it didn’t get hot but until about 2 or 3pm it was a lovely day with temperatures in the mid 20s.

When the hot winds arrived the temperature increased by about 10° in one hour to mid/high 30s but still not as high as they said it would be. Further north they did hit record temperatures for October, in Sydney two suburbs got to 40° but here it was hot but not unbearable, humidity was below 30%. The wind was gone this morning.

This morning was my seniors meeting so I have been busy.

Just got the bins out for collection in the morning, haven’t bothered with the recycling bin as it is only about a fifth full - that can wait until next time.

Enjoy your Thursday.

Take care…

Hi

Good Morning Bruce and all who follow.

The threat of a storm has diminished, just light rain and a fresh breeze now forecast.
It is still getting colder however.

If you think you are having a bad time, spare a thought for one of my helpers.

Husband got her a dream car, a year old all electric Mercedes AMG, stupidly fast, paid extra for an extended Warranty.

It broke down, a complex software fault, unfortunately not covered by the Warranty.

Mercedes charged them $1640 to trace the fault and want a further $8000 to fix the problems it has caused.

They have 3 girls, Mum went shopping for Christmas presents and hid them in black bags in the garage until she could wrap and stash them.

Husband did something previously unknown for him, he cleaned the garage and took everything to the tip, including the black bags which he just assumed were full of rubbish.

I sent her home yesterday, she needed time on her own.

My day also went wrong yesterday, had an unexpected visit from a District Nurse to give me one of my regular injections, a routine visit, delayed due to me having been in hospital.

The medicine is normally delivered the day before as it has to be kept in the fridge., which is how I find out what day the nurse is arriving.

The system went wrong, nurse arrived, no medicine.

A very efficient lady she sorted that out, back next week.

She also had an email to check me for so called pressure sores in my groin.

No sores, wrong diagnosis and I had been given the wrong creams to put on.

The problem was the multiple incisions made into the major blood vessels to get probes into me, which were leaking.

She got that cleaned up, new creams and barrier applications, a cup of coffee and off she went.

My faith in the NHS was somewhat restored.

Have a great day all.
