Well, I have had a six day visit to NZ with Sean ( his 10th birthday present) and it was great to be home. New babies (I am a great aunt) were looking wonderful, we took Sean for a hot swim at Miranda ( after the legendary fish and chips) and we had dinner with old friends another night. Nothing like my own bed to sleep in, and good to see Peter was finally over his flu and bronchitis before I left. I was a bit worried there for a while. Didnt get round to seeing everyone, and weather wasn't wonderful but I will be home for Christmas. A lovely break and Sean was a real pleasure to have with us.
Came back to Sydney and a heat wave - amidst TV warnings of extreme fire risk th
is last weekend was most uncomfortable - hot warm NW wind and temperature of at least 40 out this side of town. My little studio flat is not air conditioned! I took off and went on a ferry over to Manley to get the sea breeze, and then after trying to do some writing on Sunday, gave up in sweaty despair and drove to Botany Bay where I wallowed in the sea until the body cooled down.

Not much rain and still high winds, so the bushfires are not all out yet ( still over 80 fires burning in NSW!!) - but at least it was not so muggy and hot.
