Holy sunshine batman.

Got to +29 official and +30.5 in the shade at the house, no breeze to speak of.

What with the dusty roads and all the heavy traffic it reminded me of a dusty frontier town in Afghanistan, at least the ones you see on TV. The difference being; the danger of being bumped by a heavy vehicle, or a light one for that matter, rather than an IED.
I’m still disgorging dust from every orifice of my face this morning, I guess most of the pedestrian traffic is too.

Any way we are in for another one today by the looks of it.

The tug that lost the McNally Olympic is back in town. No one seems to know the status of the barge and what the company intends to do about salvage.


So after a hectic morning we took a walk down to the dock, looking for some ocean breeze, not a lot on offer.


We called into one of the stores, the food by mail had come in earlier. The staff were sorting through this mixed box of fruit, the picture gives you an idea of the state of the fruit. So much for Canada Post and there inspection regime, not to mention the mentality of the person who packed the fruit like that. I obtained permission to take the photo and said I would be following up on it. Not that anybody outside gives a rats arse.


At the entrance, or exit, of the dock the green team were doing a paint job on a rock. The Nunatsiavut flag is going to be painted on it.


Then a plane was coming in for a landing, exciting eh?


It was too dam hot so back to the house, Siutik does not do heat that well, us neither for that matter. +29 as I write.
