Thursday 12^th December

SHE SAID:

Another hot day, though it took most of the day to reach 37C. For some reason those 2 degrees less seemed “much” cooler than yesterday. We didn’t put the AC on till after lunch.

We caught up with Julian & Kiyoka in Tokyo on Skype after dinner. They are as busy as ever, & winter is rapidly approaching over there.

HE SAID:

I had previously noticed some of the old style rat traps in the shed near the chooks, so today I baited them with peanut butter. There was a fairly quick response, with 2 rats caught during the day. I have also re-baited the cage-style traps, so now there are 6 traps in use. Hopefully a reduction in rat numbers is imminent.

Varena had a casserole slow-cooking for most of the day and it smelt great. The eating was just as good; a very tasty dinner.
