lucky minor miracle?

I woke this morning to a loud crashing, tumbling sound, things falling. The hook holding a mirror above the dining mantlepiece had come away. The falling mirror had overturned a chair and broken a brass candlestick ... but the mirror is fine.

The hook was a sticky command thing- possibly a casualty of the heat.

My port-wine magnolia is definitely a casualty of the heat, see:

Somehow it doesn't look as bad in the photo as in reality. The poor thing was looking bushy, green and healthy three days ago. It got a bit burnt last year but nothing like this. Even if it doesn't finish dying from here I think I will have to shift it. It will get burnt every hot day otherwise.
