Trying to cope with the heat!

Driving back from dinner the other night at 7:15pm we passed a temperature sign 103F (39.4C!). It has been 36C, in the shade most days but today it has dropped a little and there's been rain for the first time. The temperature is now 24C so feels cold!

This  week Benny is at a Golf 'camp's in the morning and Ivy is at the Barn helping younger kids with the horses. Some afternoons the kids are with friends or at the other grandparents. We watched Ivy ride on Saturday.

Afternoons  involve the pool. One of their games is that one person swims with their eyes closed and the have to find us in the pool - Justin is usually 'it' although Ivy is good at the closed eyes swimming!
 

I enjoy the early mornings when everyone leaves for their activities. It gives me a chance to be outside with my cuppa catching up with all the news. We watch the football/soccer usually from lunchtime. Unfortunately we didn't see the Aussie game because it didn't start until midnight on our side of the USA. There is a big build up about the USA/AUS game - it starts at lunchtime on Friday.

I thought I might have got away without a swim today but no! We spent nearly an hour playing different games unfortunately one involved me being grabbed by the leg and dunked - shouldn't have bothered washing my hair!!

We have continued with our daily drawing of each person's idea.
