A hot day here.......

Goodness it was hot here today. 36.6 degrees c. In our business it is the little things that count which come to mean so much to people. For example, one of our customers named Ben, buys a coffee to have with his lunch each day. Today was soooo hot that he asked for an iced coffee. I suggested a Dare Double Espresso coffee to which I added a coffee cup filled with ice cubes from the ice machine. He stood and looked at the coffee and a beaming smile broke out across his face as he said "Thanl you Heather, you are a very thoughtful person". The boys on the site, in general, are very conscious of saying thankyou and it is nice to be appreciated by them.

Tomorrow is the biggest day of the year on the site. We put on the site Chrsitmas BBQ. J and I have hired three massive spit ovens to roast a suckling pig, 2 goats and several butts of beef. I have decied to be lazy this year and purchse the salads already made, we are having coleslaw, tabouleh and potato egg and bacon salad. To this we will add some whole baby beets, some chunky tomatoes and lettuce and a bread role. Fortunately the weather is forecasted to be much cooler.

Today it was so hot that even the spiders sitting under the tin roofs were dropping down on their webs because it was obviously to hot to sit on the metal. At one stage there were so many that I sprayed all around the eatting area. It was amazing just how many were about.

I hope that everyone has a good evening and that you can stay cool. Summer in Australia can be cruel.
