So I work in the study and we have a little fan going.
Luckily I can take photos of the garden through the study window.
I always thought that the Cabbage Butterfly had smooth silky wings, but in the first photo you can see how the afternoon sun shows up the veins in it's wings.
Then a junior male Double-collared Sunbird pitched up to look for insects in our high garden tree.
Heat causes thirst and we replenished the bird bath with cool fresh water throughout the day.
A lame and lazy day for the ringneck doves and they know not to expend too much energy on the hot days.
So they say that if it's 26C outside that it's 29C inside and cannot even think of going anywhere with our small car during the peak times of the heat as it feels like an oven.
Further inland, about 2 hours from here in a town like Oudtshoorn they say that it's 41C today and tomorrow (Outside).
Of course the youngsters do not mind the heat and they are all over, but I was a youngster a long time ago and instead of eating iced lollipops, I have progressed to sucking ice blocks :)
We will survive though and as time marches on so fast lately, February will come to an end soon. It is reckoned as our hottest summer month.
Such is life.
And That's All Friends.
