The humidity is getting into my brain and turning it to mush.
Twice I have left the water running while filling animals water. Once in the chook house, which wet their floor and all the bedding so completely that I cannot lock the chooks in there at night until it is cleaned out. The heat and that soggy pooey mess is a health hazard. I will start the clean up today but it will be a long hard slog of my own making.
And water is such a precious thing. To waste it hurts.
The six got out yesterday morning and did some overnight vegetable gardening but I cannot see where they escaped so they are locked down into their interior field until Ii have worked out that mystery.
But the threat of rain is dropping which is a good thing. There is enough water in the air to keep the grass growing.
Hot again today I think.
I will go and check for you.
Have a good day.

Hot humid weather of our sub tropical summer tests me out, I grew up inland in dry heat summers, cold winters, but spending much of my working life in airconditoned comfort deacclimatised me to anything but 22 degress Celsius, and the cold makes my joints ache now… at not quite 53 oh deary me 🙃
However, your verandah looks like an oasis which of course they are if one can linger a while.
And as the third Aussie in a row passing on the local weather report from the Southern Highlands of NSW: well, ’tis midwinter and yesterday we hit 27C ie 81F – the highest July temp ever recorded . . . . yup, cold damaging gales for the next two days! Oh, I love the heat and do not even have AC!! And loved your working companion photos just now on Instagram . . . .
Mercy! 27 in the winter. You could grow veges all year round!
*grin’ With the exception of tomatoes and the like we can . . . . herbs and root vegetables do great . . . . your son should be able to do the same in Wellington: am turning on the Instagram regularly to ‘help’ him dig and clean!
Yes. We have always had summer and winter gardens in nz. ESP in hawked bay. Wellington gets cold sometimes.
The wild cherry tomatoes are in flower as we speak and the borage in blossom with a host of bees.
Bees! I never thought if bees
It does get so punishingly humid your way. Hope you get relief soon.
