[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 237574, member: 1991"] G'day, friends. Thankfully today (Sunday) was not so hot, although it was still much hotter than forecast, it felt much hotter than 25 C (77 F). We didn't go swimming today, instead we spent time with easy child & BF1 while we talked about wedding plans, among other things. husband & I are both tired after some difficult nights fighting the heat. Tomorrow is Australia Day, a very important day in Australia's calendar. Here is a link to save me explaining. It is complex, but has come to mean a great deal more than just the day on which the First Fleet landed and took posssession of this country under "terra nullius". Now it is very much a celebration of the increasingly vast aspects of what it means to be Australian. Tomorrow is also difficult child 3's birthday. He has already gone to bed (it is past his bedtime - past mine, frankly). We have been fortunate to have family visit us yesterday, we may be fortunate enough to have difficult child 1 & daughter in law plus possibly easy child 2/difficult child 2, visit us tomorrow. We've not made birthday plans for difficult child 3 as yet - as school goes back the day after, we'll probably have a quiet day for a change. Traditionally Australia Day is celebrated with a barbecue (because if you cook outside, you don't heat up the house, already scorching hot from the intense midsummer). However, I do plan to cook a roast chicken for dinner (also fairly traditional). I managed to water the garden tonight, with about five minutes to spare. We're only permitted to hose the garden between 4 pm amd 10 pm, on Sundays and Wednesdays. After yesterday's 42 C heat (107 F) the poor garden has been sufffering. Here's hoping we get some good swimming opportunitiess in tomorrow. Enjoy your Sunday. Marg [/QUOTE]
