  • Wednesday Night: We got to 34.5C in the courtyard today, it was even warmer outside..... We did have a swim this afternoon, thank God for the pool, albeit bloody cold today! It was 28C and when you got out, even though it was 34C at least it was icey cold !!!!! 

    It was almost too hot to do anything! I managed to make some temporary curtains for the Edwardian shop and fit these and some window dressing.....but that was about it. Today was a day for research and thinking, I tried out a new idea with fantastic results, you will have to wait and see what this is,  undoubtably today will produce results .... soon

    We also had a "mini drama" in the afternoon when Amber bought a medium sized Viper into the gold room. In an attempt to rescue it, the thing escaped and disapeared somewhere in the Aldadins Cave of crafting goodies....... We took the room apart drawer by drawer, box by box, being constantly aware this thing can reach up and bite with lightning speed and agility. We eventually found it hiding on a shelf in a corner, but it still proved impossible to catch. I did manage to get it into a large plastic box once, but it pushed it's way out of the lid, striking towards me as it did so. A poisioness snake loose in the house wasn't an option and when we were unable to catch it, in the end I clobbered it instead.

    The cat would have eaten it soon enough anyway, but you should have seen the chaos that was left afterwards!
