I've been off and away, cruising down from Perth to Manjimup, then further south to Albany and then back up to Perth again.
For a gal who barely drives 50miles a week in New York, I managed to clock up nearly 1000kms between here and there which was quite a strain on the driving brain! At least I was on the 'right' (er left) side of the road!
Still it was a great weekend and I got to attend my nephew's engagement party which was nice, as I usually miss out on most of the "family" events conducted on this side of the world!
Since being back in Perth the thermometer has steadily crept upwards, with the last two days cracking nearly 43C - which in northern lingo is about 109F - toasty to say the least. There has been little relief at night as the sea breeze has been notably absent and as I type it's still 81F!
I'm looking forward to a cooler day tomorrow (ahem) - just 37C (99F) HA!
The blessing is of course, that we have shelter, food and cool water to drink - our thoughts and prayers go out to all those souls in Haiti who are not so fortunate.
You really captured the feel of hot and dry, barren land. Wonderful processing. Find some shade!

We had your heat last week, I hope this doesn't mean we're in for some more, it often travels to the east. I hope it cools for you soon.
