Crazy weather this week...

Wednesday 29/01/20 We woke up to a thick fog over the town which hung around until about 9.30am...

~

Then Thursday we experienced a stinking hot day of 44C.  On Friday, it was a cooler 36C but the humidity was through the roof!  We had a big down pour in the afternoon but the temperature just did not drop so it felt like hot rain!  Nasty!

~

I've got sick of bananas and apples as my fruit of choice so picked up some plums, nectarines and apricots when I went shopping...something different...

~

I also picked up several corn on the cob which were only $1.00 each.  I take them off the cob and freeze them.  So much better than canned corn which is in water from a foreign country and costs about twice as much!

~

My muesli and fruit breakfast, loving the different fruits...

~

Because there was a thunder storm warning for Friday afternoon and evening, I filled a couple of bottles with water and boiled water for my Thermos.  If power goes out, we have no water into the house as we are on a pump for rain water and bore water for toilets.  Nothing worse than not being able to wash your face before bed....or have a cuppa for that matter.  Be prepared!

~

The storm did not eventuate but it was nice to know I was ready if it did.  I also had candles out ready...

~

A nice latte a la Joolz ...

~

I bought some organic rolled oats for a bulk food supplied recently.  It made the most creamy porridge ever and I only used skim milk and water...

~

Delicious with mango, plum and apricots.  I have stewed the remaining apricots as they were getting over-ripe.

~

Dinner last night - Gus returned from Adelaide and brought fresh King George whiting and oysters home.  So fresh!

~

and finally, a few blooms from my poor garden.  They've had wind, rain, searing hot temperatures but still they pop out a bud here and there...

~
I hope this week can just be normal summer weather with no extremes...wouldn't that be nice?

Cheers - Joolz xx
