Sturdy little tree! Tiny silky oak seedling transplanted last month. Never thought to water during heat wave. Few drops of rain the other night must have saved it.

Change just arrived but still over 40 C at 6pm; second change at 10pm, temp just under 30 C and wind gusts.

And so we brace ourselves for another scorcher, with still another to come tomorrow.

A pair of parrots have taken up residence by the side door. Sparrows, wrens, blackbirds starlings and willy wagtails are enjoying the relative cool in the shade — gone down to 40 degrees at 3pm. I have water there too.
