That does sound like a busy weekend @Shaz51!
I'll be running some errands on the weekend, buying some yarn to knit my mum a birthday present for next month, and I've got a few jeans to alter/repair. Then I think on Sunday I'm going to watch some basketball with friends 🙂

Oh, @Shaz51, your orchids are beautiful. Are they cattleya? Are cattleya tree orchids too? Such a wonderful climate for gardening success!

@SleeplessRaven taking it easy sounds like a good plan.

Not too hot yet in Melbourne
When it heats above about 35°C I put wet towels on my parrots' cage as air conditioning. I don't have aircon for me

wet towels are smart! @DogMan79 before we had aircons, we used to freeze bottles of water and use them as 'cooling packs' for my bunny to lean on.
@Shaz51 i celebrated my halloween early by going to Luna Park 'dark' (which is their 'spooky' theme park edition). also those desert roses look gorgeous!
