    The heat and the public holiday got me, slept all day. Gonna do what I need to do and try the old sleep tablet quarter again tonight. I need to be up for phone calls and telehealth tomorrow. -_-

    I was gonna get onto the folding today but not sure if I have the energy.

    Saw a shriveled male and female flower pair… pulled the male one open and tried to open up the female to hand pollinate - the female flower came off in my hand. DOH. If that flower didn’t already get fertilised the little zucchini will wither and die.

    No flowers on the others. I wonder how much the heat and probably too small pots are stressing these plants.

      I encountered them a few years ago at Fairhaven beach thinking they were harmless (but annoying) sand flies. I was covered in bites all over my body, so horrible. Have not gone back to that beach since!

      I didn’t know we had those in Australia! Have seen overseas but never here. The jumbo of the bee world.

      Edit: just realised your photo may not be from here. I’m slow today.

        They’re around, but not common. They’re solitary so you never see swarms of them. Tasmania has them in fair abundance.

    Doing the Jurassic World exhibition today. I bought tickets before I checked the temperature so we’re doing that first thing and then I think we’ll go straight home

    So the brachiosaurus right at the start of the Jurassic World exhibition scared the boys, but they were fine with the raptor and the scary part with the T.rex at the end. I think they were surprised to see dinosaurs to start with and then got into it

      That’s the coolest thing 😊

      and it’s good to be a bit scared of the natural world, I think that feeling of danger in everyday life is something that modern humans has lost

    Still not too hot outside. Been at it from 6:45 (would’ve liked to start earlier but this is the best I could do). Let’s see if I can make it to 1pm. Fucking temps reaching maximum at 5pm is ghastly

      Good luck! I just went out for a quick walk and it was pleasant but definitely ominous. Don’t envy you
