Today, the world of Chocolate changed. More specifically, for those on Mars (pardon the pun), Cadbury has been bought by Kraft Foods. So now, the world of cheese, crackers & cookies awaits.... I'll keep you posted of the change when it arrives, as no doubt it will. Lets see if the P45 can find me hiding in Oz !! 
While the freeze continues in Blighty, the heat has been unreal here. During the night last night, the lowest temperature it got to was 30.6 degrees C. It was 44 during the day. Apparently - that equals the hottest night ever recorded in Melbourne - the last time was 1902. Have a read of this. If this isn't warm enough before global warming really kicks in, God knows what the future holds !!

As you can see from these pictures, the peach crop is coming in ! For some reason the peach tree has come on really well very quickly and there are about 50 peaches on it already. Not bad for a 1 year old tree. Despite Aidan's enthusiasm for picking them off the tree, he's not keen on trying them, but Ethan loves them. They're very sweet and juicy so clearly I'm doing something right ..... must be the chicken poo!
I'm sure those in the freezing northern hemisphere will feel very little sympathy for us here in Melbourne, but we're almost house bound for the opposite reason. It's scorching. Its 39 degrees outside with a hot wind blowing as I type and the air-con is on full blast. Tomorrow is forecast the same and its due to be even hotter on Monday - around 42 degrees then !!
