Good morning tooters. It was around 12c last night & a pretty good night for sleeping well. I do seem to be having a wake time about 3am every night lately. Got up just before 6am & today it will be a warm 32c.
I don’t know what was going on yesterday but my phone, iPad & watch all seemed to deplete their batteries rather quickly & even though I charged my watch up yesterday, it discharged itself totally overnight. It’s not the first time & it is getting old. I might need to replace it this year. It’s a Fitbit & while I quite like it, I’m leaning towards an Apple Watch.
Because it’s going to be warm, once I’ve had a shower I will take the dogs for a little walk down to the creek & then I will head into Wodonga to water my own garden & fill up the birdbath & generally check on things. After which I’ll come back to Chiltern to chill for the afternoon.
Hope you all have a lovely calm & peaceful #Sunday 🌻. #Weather #Devices #HouseSit #PetSit
