Been one of those use-it-or-lose-it days where any
idea you had failed the heat test - & at 40℃ in the
shade it quickly established who’s going to pass &
who’s best left under the fan; me mate Podge had
a keen sense of opportunity so before the sun got
too vicious we visited the dam site, were home by
8am - & since, he’s been under the bed advisedly
snoring - if it’s what dogs do redressing the heat
But he did accompany me to the mailbox at 2pm -
a mistake he agrees - particularly as again, it was
empty; he sees that’s a double-damnation form of
serendipity gone massively asymmetrical in what
proved the most brutal day he’d indulged me with
a spontaneous show of good mate’s solidarity
