Sheesh.... car problems!  The Subaru has lost its air-conditioning AND the alternator has died.  The car had to be put on a tow truck from Workpower ( in Malaga) back to Midvale where the repairs can be done.  It's not going to be cheap!

Recently I saw a advert for "bee venom" as a treatment for arthritis.  At first I was disparaging.....  another gimmick I thought.....  but then I thought "My wrists are bad enough that I would be silly not to try it."

Well.... It came in today's mail and so far I've applied it 3 times at about one hour intervals.  I must say that I think it works!  It doesn't touch the pain of the joint going the wrong way..... but it seems to really help the background arthritic pain. 

I'll report more in future. 

Also today..... 

These are 3 items from China..... a 12v air blower and 2 bits of stainless steel flexible tube......  all for about $23!

With these I will be able to construct a cabin heater for the Landrover.  Cool.

Gee it's hot.  I'm not sure that I've ever known such a long heat wave. The hot days just seem to go on and on.  It's too hot to do anything outside..... and the shed is like an oven.  Fortunately the house is very comfortable inside ....
