Just a bit of this and that!
Last Week's This and That
Last week started with a fair bit of stress...
Tuesday was a terribly hot and windy day. I only worked in the morning and made it home just in time before a large tree came down over the road into our little town... if I was a bit later I'd have had to find another road home. And then came the storms - for us it was thunder and dry lightning - which started a fire in the next town over.
In no time because of the high wind, it was out of control and more than 20 trucks were fighting it. Our neighboring towns were told to evacuate, and we were on high alert in case the wind changed and sent it heading our way.
A friend and her two dogs evacuated and sheltered at our place... the poor dogs were not too happy with coming over.. It took Bella a lot of coaxing to get over that door step:
Once she was in the kitchen/lounge she was happy!
Daisy was so upset to have to leave home that she tried to hide in the corner:
And wasn't really happy until I put a quilt for her to snuggle up with on the couch:
We were up till midnight checking on the fire and finally headed for bed, thankful that the wind wasn't changing.
No houses were lost thankfully, unlike further west where 44 were lost. It was not a great day.
The fire is still burning, but it's under control... we have more hot days this week so we're hoping that it won't flare up again.
Mum and I went away for our few days of R&R, so there is nothing productive for me to show you! It was lovely to get away and relax, do some reading, work on some stitching for this week's blog hop, and nothing much else!
This Week's This and That
As I said above, it's still going to be hot this week so I will just plod along with work and not much else!
