[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 219521, member: 1991"] G'day for Saturday. Linda, I hope you have a productive day with your painting. It sounds like perfect weather for shutting yourself indoors and imagining a different place and time. We had a lovely summer day today. At last we got to the beach! Of course, it was the middle of the day and we've had too many cool days and not enough sun exposure, so we couldn't stay out in it for too long. The water was a bit chill but bracing. It was still the best place to be on a sizzling hot day. Earlier in the day difficult child 3 & I went to a friend's garage sale and she had some candles on the table - they were melting into a puddle! Yes, it was THAT hot! About an hour after we got to the beach a cooler wind sprang up which took the worst sting out of the day. Once we got home we were able to open up the blinds and windows at last, because at last the air outside was cooler than the air inside. Tonight I can feel a gentle glow from the sun, not enough for sunburn but definitely enough to colour up for a bit of solar self-defence. I need to go put some oil on difficult child 3's back to make sure he isn't burnt either. Tomorrow will be cooler, we're going to 'kidnap' mother in law for a movie marathon at our place while I do some Christmas cooking. The AFI Awards are on TV in few minutes. One of the year's films nominated for a lot of awards is "The Black Balloon". Fingers crossed! It's the first awards show that difficult child 3 is even mildly interested in - every award that film has won has been like a personal victory for difficult child 3 as well. It's winning a lot of critical acclaim, I just wish you guys in the US could get to see it. Enjoy your Saturday, I hope it's not too cold where you are. I'll enjoy the summer for you! Marg [/QUOTE]
