A nice saturday

I had an extremely relaxing morning today, I got up, showered and then sat down with my laptop but I didn't want the radio or the tv on. After a bit I made some breakfast and then I decided that I wanted to go back to bed. I went to my room and just lay on my bed reading a book for an hour or so and then decided that I would have a nap - it was just so nice and peaceful and relaxing - I need to do things like that more often!

This afternoon and tonight I was at DISC, the indoor velodrome for the Brunswick Track Open and seeing as it is my clubs event, I kinda felt I had to be there to help out as either judge, time keeper or first aid and I ended up doing a bit of everything. Being a giant building with a massive tin roof it was a bit of a sauna in there but it was worth it because I won first prize in the raffle, a digital photo frame! :D Noice!

The heat is still hanging around good old Melbourne town... although the low tonight is going to be a chilly (read: lovely) 18 degrees, for the next week we have only 2 days under 30 but thankfully nothing over 34 on the current forecast, thank gawd no more 40+ temps! Yesterday hit 45 degrees, that's just crazy!

I think my tomato plants have mostly been unscathed this week by the hot weather. I have been watering them twice daily and yesterday I even hung a sheet over the clothes line to the fence to try to protect them a bit more from the direct intense heat of the sun. The roma's have started flowering now and there is quite a few flowers on the plants and my cherry tomatoes, well they have sort of become a bit more like sun dried tomatoes on the vine :( but some are still ok.
