      Thanks Krista. Yes, it is still hot up here, but partly cloudy today because of the cyclone up north.

      Ha Ha, the tractor had just been on the beach sweeping it. Looks like it has been raked by a giant rake πŸ™‚

      It is still hot in the day, but a little cool in the mornings. Just enough to pull the cotton sheet over us. πŸ™‚
