G'day, friends.
It's hot in Australia right now. difficult child 3 has been working hard on his schoolwork, in only three days he's done two weeks' work already. His roll call teacher telephoned today, touching base for the first day back. This teacher spent his holidays in India and Singapore, only arrived back a few days ago, and said the heat feels the same as it felt in Singapore and India!
Mind you, we're not doing too badly in Sydney. Melbourne and Adelaide, on the other hand - well over 100 F in the old numbers. For the nest week at least, it is expected to continue. A coolchange should be through in a few days, the temperature is expected to drop ten degrees C, DOWN to 30 C (86 F) then will probably go back up again.
It's going to be around 30 C here for the next week. We went for a swim this afternoon, collected difficult child 3's godmother along the way. Even though we didn't go until well after school hours finished, it was still very hot and the water was wonderfully warm - it felt like at least 25 C (77 F). But because school is back, we were almost the only ones at the beach. There were another two people away in the distance, and a couple of people on our beach but behind a rock. Over the next half hour, a half dozen more kids arrived but that was it. We had the place to ourselves, a far cry from the crowds of recent weeks.
Tomorrow is another school day for us. I hope difficult child 3 can keep up this work drive. Of course, he IS being motivated by bribery.
Enjoy your Thursday everyone.
