G'day, everyone.
It's late, I need to head for bed, so I'm starting the morning thread (since nobody else has yet).
We had a lovely summery Sunday today. The school fair, connected with the school art show - wonderful. The fair had a ducking stool, judging by the roaring trade it was doing I think they should have been charging kids to sit on the stool as well. It was not too hot, but plenty warm enough for the kids to enjoy being ducked in the tank whenever a ball hit the target.
The lemonade stand ran out of lemonade several times and finally packed up early. Most other stalls kept going all day, including those selling native plants, and vegetable seedlings.
With a national election next Saturday, we also had the local Labor candidate for our area sitting around talking to people. I asked him if he had selected the site for his office...
I made the mistake of getting too much sun, after lying on the beach yesterday - I'm only slightly singed but I do need husband to rub in some more coconut oil for me. Two days' too much sun in a row is NOT good for my gentle tanning regime - I try to build up A LITTLE tan slowly, so I don't burn later in the season.
We have sunny weather for the next few days, then maybe the hope of a bit of damp for 24 hours; then more sun. The pattern is developing for the summer. Our beachgoing neighbour strolled back from the beach this afternoon dreamily announcing that the water was warm - maybe in a couple of days...
Enjoy your Sunday, everyone.
