Well after a week of hot weather, which all of Australia got hit with – the last hurrah of summer, autumn has now well and truly hit with this week mornings dropping to single digits (the coldest being 3 degrees and the daily max temperatures all being under 20).

The thing about that last hurrah of heat was that the house eves provided very little in the way of shade onto the house as the angle of the earth had moved slightly (obviously for autumn) and the sun came directly onto the house heating it up – so we felt the full effect of the the 34+ heat. In summer with the sun being higher we shade the house pretty well.

Now with this cool weather I am guessing that the sweet corn won’t develop fully. It was put in late, but I will leave it another week before I pull up everything in Vege Patch #1 give it a shot of manure and plant some more in there.

Also we now have a new kitten called Pixie. This was picked up from one of Lynsey’s friends in Sydney when we went down to also watch the mighty Blue Bags (Newtown Jets).
