It has the makings of a hot day

Because we are staying close enough to a highway, bus traffic wakes a person up fairly early here, not that its a bad thing, it means that you can get stuff done while it is still cool provided one is not too lazy to get up. Most mornings I am too lazy to get up as dawn is breaking, but not this morning. I was up at dawn with the intention of spotting some of the local mammals called gibnuts, they are rodent-things, not entirely sure seeing as I have never seen one, I just hear tell of them existing, they are seemingly quite shy and they put in an appearance close to the river at dusk and dawn only. Oh well, one of these days. The only other wild mammal that I have seen here is a squirrel, with a dark fluffy tail, Dee has seen what is thought to be a possum, the lucky beggar, he saw a snake too the other day, put the frighteners on him, poor beggar. Anyway, I think it precipitated somewhat last night, now its all misty, and 29 Celcius, all that means that it is going to be a scorcher of a day, and we are off the the dentist for Dee a bit later this morning. Anyway, its seven in the morning and its by time I started the day. Blessings, Z

29 degrees at 7 a.m??
Now that sounds yummy :o)
Though I guess I am biased since Ireland just dragged herself out of the 'big freeze'.
I saw bulbs coming up through the ground yesterday... Spring is on the way!
I hope you find a lovely dentist for Dee.
