Happy New Year!

In the high 30's to low 40's C BLOODY HOT and with no rain at all the yard is dying fast.

Doesn't't matter how much water I throw down the grass in most places is simply dead. Now it seems pointless throwing the grass seed around and watching it germinate only to know that when I'm not here and there is no one to water it in the small areas that it's growing it's going to die faster than the lawmaker it was supposed to fill in.

The weather crowd here has been saying light rain possible almost every day and if it's actually raining here it's so light that it evaporates long before it hits the ground out of bright blue skies.

You know that there is something drastically wrong when the official weather reports soy 0% chance of rain any day. I've seen that 3 times this month and it worries me that every other report says possibility of light showers.

Only loosing about 10 pbs per day because if the heat and sweating about 40 litres.

The nepenthes on the other hand are looking great but I have to remember to water them every day especially the ones in what I have that passes as a hot house. I swear that the covering is likely to melt with the heat inside that thing and I'm leaving it open all the time. I hate to think what it would be like if I shut the door and stopped the wind blowing through to cool things down to a intro able level.
