that is looking great there Zoffiel.... yep had rain on friday out of town but the river has come up so that is good now the head about to begin again for us too.
getting muscles on my arms from carrying all the bath and shower water out to my plants as we are on level 3 restrictions .... 30mins every 2nd day for the whole garden .... so supplementing them with the washing machine water from 2 machines son in granny flat ( 1 to the apple tree garden and one to the stone fruit garden) then shower /bath water is to the veggie patch to try to keep it alive.

I'm looking at the flap of cloth that I haven't trimmed thinking, that can bloody stay there for the moment. Anything to reduce the sun on the back of the house. I've got a tank and a well to help keep the garden going, but I don't think either will be able to compete with the ongoing sauna. I bucket water from the bath too, @soldiercrab , but that's not too hard from the outside tub

@Zoffiel @SoldierCrab Heroic efforts both of you.1

Sorry, no photos as my camera is not good enough, so you will have to imagine. I have two bird water baths north of the house and easy watching from the dining room table. In the extreme heat I've been topping up the bird water three times a day. In the last three days have watched yellow rumped thornbills, double bar finches, eastern rosellas, red rumped parrots, apostle birds, blue wrens, starlings, pee wees, currawongs, noisy miners, butcher birds all sipping and splashing.6

Husband opened curtains and I'm being enticed out of bed by this, the upper storey of my back garden on this fine Sunday morning. The sound track is magpies, lorikeets, rosellas, a cooing dove, cockatoos and various other tweets and bird calls. I hope everyone has a good Sunday. K xox

The magpies are really going to town in this weather, aren't they? Beautiful!1

I can't take a photo through my bedroom window. All fogged up. No, not from heavy breathing but from overnight humidity outside and an airconditioner purring away inside.
However, this is the product of an overnight storm that dumped 17 mls of rain in 15 minutes accompanied by very strong gale busting winds.
TRAPPED!
Looks like chainsaw material @Zoffiel ? Can't get out until Ian takes the chainsaw to it, on the other hand others can't get in. Hmm, might be a good idea to leave it there.
Good example why it is not wise to lay your swag under a Snappy Gum tree.6 -
In N.S.W. they are called "widow makers"!2

@Patti J
Also called Widow Makers here as well.
Now is that because men don't take kindly to their women saying "No dear, that's not a good idea to lay your swag under that snappy gum".
Or maybe because the men go out camping without their women to advise them "that's not a good idea to lay your swag under that snappy gum!

17mls in 15 mins! That a goodish Winter 24 hours average for us. I'm a bit concerned about our gums and heat stress. A couple of years ago, a heat wave brought down a massive branch which flattened our carport (still not replaced) and took out one of the cars.1
