hot hot hot
Its hot.. like really hot.. like 42 degrees yesterday.. well today its only 31 degrees hot .. but it was mega mega hot yesterday.. our house was feeling really cool compared to the outside temp and it was like 28 degrees.. however last the temp only went down to of say about 27 so our place didn't actually cool off.. the only person who had bedding last night was Felicity and that was so she couldn't bump her arms into her head and wake herself up.. the poor little mite was rather sweaty this morning..
but to help us cool off we went round to the kimptons swimming pool abiut 5 pm last night.. it was still 40 at this time and I had had enough of the hot.. oohh swimming pools are so fabulous.. oohh yes the kimptons are in queensland having a lovely vacation, so Helga let us in to run around the house in our wet togs.. Claire was havign the best time and was actually shivering after a while.. she really wanted to stay in but was cold cold.. Felicity had a great time after the initial shock of the water being so cold.. really the water wasn't that cold.. its just that compared to how hot we were already it was cold.. so after a few yells and cries she acclamatised (hhmm spelling)..
Phil has now decided that if he has to go to work he would like a pool to come home to.. I just have to get him to go to work so we can afford a house with a pool!
Today Phil and Simon are repairing things around our place.. There was a fence post that had been dangling for almost a year,.. apparently it is now concreted into the ground.. the front deck that had started to rot has been ripped up and should be newly laid up by the time I get home.. hoorah! we won't fall down into the pit of death.. Claire will be super duper excited as she tells me all the time when she's in the sand pit (its right next to the deck) that its broken and not to walk there..
yes Claire is off to Day care.. she was excited as "Asher might be there, maybe holidays finished" and he was.. she was a bit stunned though and kind of hesitated at the door, but Asher came over and said Hi Claire.. so i'm sure she will have a fabulous time..
Felicity and I are hanging out at Sabine's.. I got to have a mini erst on the couch (which I wouldn't haev got at home because of all the noisy work) and there are some lovely air conditioners keeping us cool.. Felicity has just woken up and can see me.. oohh dear I must have been typing too loud.. I am hoping she will go back to sleep.. la la la
She has been wearing socks on her hands as she keeps scrathing herself.. oohh gotta go..
