Some nice cool weather!

It rained a lot last night so it was quite wet underfoot when I took Totty out. I was up early to take her on a 'cool' walk but as it happened I didn't need to as it was much cooler anyway.

When I got back I called my sister and we had a long chat, it never ceases to amaze me how easily women can talk but men find it much more difficult.

I tried to call the gynae secretary but she was not in so had to leave a message.

I went into Tauranga to take Jon's trousers to be shortened but the shop is closed till 5 Jan. I had a coffee and a quick look around the shops before going to the supermarket to get a few bits and pieces.

When I got back the secretary had rung and had given me another appointment for 11 Feb which unfortunately, I cannot do either as we are away with Malcolm so I had to call her back again and leave another message.

Jon came home and we had a nice Greek salad for lunch. The secretary called and she has now put me in for 18 February. I had hoped I could be seen before that but as we are away so much over the next few weeks it is difficult.

Jon took his trousers to a repair shop over at Bayfair on his way back to work to see if they are open and it saves me going out again. They were open and they will have then done for Thursday.

I did my ironing this afternoon and it was a good day to do it as it was much cooler though by the time I had finished the sun had come out again and it got up to 27 degrees.

I wanted to cook two lamb shanks for dinner tomorrow and the recipe was for the oven but there is no way I wanted the oven on when it is so hot so I cooked them on the top and they seem to be OK, we'll find out tomorrow.

We had some fish for dinner with salad. I felt so bloated and full yesterday so we are on slimming meals for the next few days and no alcohol.

I started a really good book yesterday and I am finding it hard to put down it is so good.

I have put Totty on dried food again to see if that helps her bottom scratching problem but so far she has not eaten it. I suppose she will when she is hungry.

WEATHER
After overnight rain it was much cooler today. We had a few light showers during the day but nothing much. The sun came out in the evening but then it clouded over again. Still 22 degrees at 8.00 and only expected to get down to 18 so we are in for a warm and humid night.
