Back To The Hot and Humid Weather.

Things are just about back under control again. Three weeks away from home and with over 6000k's done in the car it has taken us a couple of days to get things back to how they should be. To further complicate this we have arrived back in to the heat and humidity of mid summer. The temperature is around 30 degrees and the humidity is in the high 60's. Sitting quietly under a fan is just brilliant, but get outside to do anything and the perspiration just rolls off!

This morning I gave the car exterior a good wash and clean. 6000k's worth of bugs and road grime made it a slow a meticulous job. I had to use polish to remove some of the bug remains and I am sure I have probably missed some. The sweat just rolled off me even though it was morning!

Trish received this lovely 'wall hanging' lizard from friends Barry and Lorraine for Christmas. It now has pride of place under the patio and replaces a similar wall hanging we previously had there. If you look closely at the pool photo below you will see the 'old' lizard's new home on the front of the pool filter cover!

Then the garden pots needed watering and the pool required a quick vacuum. From there it was into the pool for a cooling swim and a laze just to catch up. So by 9 am all the day's jobs had been done. Tony, Paul and wives are popping around this afternoon for a swim and a couple of belated Christmas and New Year drinks.
