T’s not often one wakes at 4 AM to +22 degrees Celsius in these here parts. Note: Amazing how wind from the east drops the temperatures dramatically, then back to warmer when it switches back from the west.

Yesterday we broke the high record of 25.5 set back in 2001. New record for the day is 31.

All too soon we will be back to reality and normality buy the look of things.

The folks on the Wanderbird, back from their search for the polar bear, must have thought they had entered some sort of global warming time warp, arriving at the dock in Nain greeted by a few hardy souls decked out in shorts, swim wear and the like.

In the early evening I came across one of the passengers who arrived back from north on the Wanderbird. He is from Costa Rico and was returning from a walk around town, “does not get this hot back home” was his thoughts on the day.

Congratulations on your hot weather. It's been the same here. I bet poor Siutik doesn't like it much. When we had a Siberian Husky, she hated the hot weather. Just dug massive holes in the garden so she could lay in the cool earth.

Yes, our [rather Siutiks] yard looks like an opal field of old. Does not have to be hot either, just their instinct, dig for anything.
As to the warm weather, well.
