Today was a day of total Fire Ban

That means no fires to be lit in the open, no hoses to be used for watering gardens etc etc.

Apparently it has been the hottest day since records began, there are bushfires everywhere and the sky is a funny colour and there is smoke in the air although there are no fires in our area.

It has been horrible, we have stayed indoors most of the time and I have just been out to find quite a few things in the garden have not survived the heat, especially my newly acquired tuberous begonias and mini cyclamen. The basil I bought indoors but even that is looking the worse for wear.

Fortunately there is a cold change coming tonight so tomorrow they are promising a nice 26 degrees.
