Heatwave

I’ll admit an untimely fact. I never watched An Inconvenient Truth.

I wouldn’t say I was a global warming sceptic, but I had my doubts.

But over Christmas we suffered through the hottest Christmas period of awful hot days in a row than I can remember. We’re talking about 7 days in a row with it being over 38C (100F) and going into 42C (107F), I’m not usually a whinger, I live in Australia we always have hot Summers and we’re used to little or no rainfall but I think because of how long it went on, it got unbearable. I had my much anticipated 2 weeks off over Christmas with a lot of big plans but it was literally too hot to do much of anything that didn’t involve air conditioning or a body of water. I’m taking my holidays in autumn next time. Our weather chart had to be altered to include a new colour (purple) for temperatures 50C and above. Yikes.

 

So I guess I’m a believer now, which fits in with my generally hippy ideals anyway.

In other news…

My litter feral (I now know is a girl) Kasey has come out of her shell in leaps and bounds. While still frightened to enjoy being picked up for long, she loves a pat and purrs! This is amazing to me.

From this grumpy girl...

To this purr machine!

And her foster sibling, Leo. I also have Donna, not pictured.
