lol... no we actually don't have a puppy. This was an old photo i found in a box from years ago. It was a guest dog at my parents place. im not sure what the dog was. (my parents however had border collies...) THAT border collie dug up my mothers standard rose bush ( a rose that is on top of a stem so it looks like a toffee apple type shape) and went running around the garden with it... lol...

Yeah its boiling. we got to 36 here yesterday and unhappily ended up with a bush fire 6km down the road. There were like 29 fire trucks there last night, and then it popped back up this morning and there are like 8 -10 there now. (Thankfully its not as hot though.)

I was closing up for bed time and went down the hallway and was like.... ah........ i can smell smoke and opened the front door and you could see the smoke even though it was dark.

However it was well away from us about 5-6km. However if just checked again and they keep sending more trucks so i guess its got away from them again. its pretty close to suburbia so it better not reach it.

you doing any gardening for spring?
