Hi Mark, I sure hope it cools down here before May! Yesterday evening was the first evening in months it was cool enough for me to take myself for a nice walk - but this week is heatwave again all week. It was so nice yesterday just to be able to go for a pleasant cool evening stroll.
Sorry to hear your son is unwell, hope it's something minor and he recovers soon. He's had a difficult start to the year poor kid.
Gosh the mangoes sound nice! I haven't bought any this season - I just don't think fruit from the supermarkets is ever much good - as a kid we used to go to Bilpin each autumn and buy up the lovely fresh apples off the trees and their apple juice, the flavours were wonderful. Where I lived before there are roadside fruit stalls and also we used to go the outlying farms where you can purchase products direct from the farmers - I have never forgotton how the pumpkins used to be almost melt-in-your-mouth. The fruit in the supermarkets as I understand it, has been stored for a year sometimes. I often find the strawberries almost tastless - fresh picked anywhere they are delicious.
Got my car plastic headlight covers redone 3 months ago for Rego as they had fogged up from the sun, which apparently happens to them - but 3 months later they are all peeling off - went to the mechanic today and the car has to go back again for a day to get them redone, which is a real nuisance, but at least they realize they have to do it for no cost for me.
Poor old kitty is wiped out from the heat. I've been googling cat foods and it's horrifying what's in some of them! The RSPCA and a few other organizations have their own websites about what to feed your cat. Fortunately the one I am feeding Brucie seems to be one of the best ones.
