Clear and Sunny ~ (until it rained …)

Joanne3 Comments

After several days of cloudy skies and hazy mountain scenes, it was such a treat this morning to see the whole mountain.

On clear days such as today, the zooming device on my camera reveals the crevices and trees, not only on the mountain, but also amid the surrounding hills and dales.

It was such a beautiful day that I decided to do some washing and hang it out on the clothes line in the sun. Then it rained …

I quickly retrieved my almost-dry washing from the line and returned to my kitchen – or rather, where my kitchen used to be. The old flooring was removed this morning. and now …

… the flooring is the same throughout the whole room. 🙂

Miss Tibbs could be impressed, but I suspect her intense stare towards where the kitchen used to be is more likely a sign of her confusion! 😉

A cooler day than yesterday

Even the storm that hit yesterday afternoon didn’t succeed in cooling the temperature. I don’t know what it reached – 32 or 33 degrees C maybe – with so much humidity that even when I sat completely still, beads of sweat tickled my skin as it ran in streams down the centre of my back.

Today has been so much cooler. You would think by looking at the ominous clouds in the photo that it rained all day – it didn’t. In fact, I don’t think it has rained at all in the last 24 hours.

My apologies for not replying to comments or visiting other blog sites these past few days. I have been otherwise occupied by various different commitments, including grand-puppy sitting, grandchild sitting, and packing up my kitchen. Yes, the time has finally arrived – my old kitchen will be removed on Wednesday morning in preparation for the installation of a sparkly new kitchen. I’m so excited!

Finding places to store the contents of my kitchen cupboards has been a challenge. It’s only through rearranging cupboards in other rooms around the house that I am finding places for everything. It’s nearly 10pm now, and after adding today’s post I am going back to kitchen sorting again for half an hour before going to bed. 🙂
