It was cold last night and quickly got hot in the morning. There are fires on the hills all round and it is very windy. Varsha enjoyed watching The Goodies again and we had to research a few 70s celebrities to fill in a few gaps for her. Rolf Harris was funny. She made a figure out if carrot sticks she wanted on this blog.

In the afternoon we walked down to the shop and had icecreams. We went on to Margaret’s to return her cup cake container and she showed us her garden. Varsha was especially excited to sample her early mulberries. We walked back up to the post office and picked up a parcel with gardening books in it. Our last errand was to deliver some money to Jasper for looking after our chooks while we were away. His dad invited us in to have a glass of water and Jasper brought out his pretty little pet python for us to see. Varsha held her and Jasper told us that he breeds mice to feed her.

The fires looked amazing after dark. We had popcorn and watched David Attenborough’s First Life after dinner.
