Week 5

Feb 4th - Now that school has been finalised, today Grace and I went out to get the basics - summer uniform and books - everything is frustratingly expensive! Why can't uniforms be like normal clothes and text books be a reasonable price! And then there are school fees, and sport fees and .....


Feb 3rd - It's alot cooler, around 29 degrees - but still quite hot and muggy. I have been enjoying lemon squash drinks - thirst quenching and cooling. I haven't felt like a Chai Latte for a while now!



Feb 2nd
- The big day had arrived - Ella's first day at school. She looked so cute in her school uniform. She was cool and calm but it was Nell who was teary and needed a cuddle!

It rained on the drive home and Melbourne, at 27 degrees, is a such a relief from the searing heat of NE Victoria.


Feb 1
- It continued with 40+ degrees in Wodonga. We had air conditioned breakfast at the Golf Club, a cool shop at the Plaza then a wonderful swim in the pool. Late afternoon, the thunder and lightning was followed by some large drops of rain - enough to get wet but soon dried off again in the humidity and heat.


Jan 31 - 45 degrees in Albury and Ella had a birthday party held in a Gymnastics Clubhouse that was an old Chicken Shed made from corrugated iron - it was cooler outside in the sun than it was inside! When I picked her up she was exhausted and very red-faced! A swim helped cool things down.


Jan 30th - I travelled to Wodonga (3 1/2 hours) to celebrate Phoebe's 1st Birthday. The car trip was such a relief with air conditioning! The party was outside with large fans to keep us cool(er) and the pool was well used! Loved the gorgeous lanterns!


Jan 29th
- It's another scorcher in Melbourne today. Even last night didn't drop past 28. It feels very draining but, daily life keeps on going regardless! The Shopping Centres are always a respite from the heat! This is the fan that is keeping me a bit cooler in my office (but I'm still dripping from the heat!).

So, till next week ...
