One week when Clive and Alison were here the temperature was a constant 38-40 degrees or so. Now that we have no pool we spend a lot more time at the beach than ever before, however on those days when it all seems too much hassle we just get out the good old sprinkler! Check out the rainbows that appeared.
The Allambie Heights School Swimming Carnival took place on day five of the new school year. Barney had his first chance to take part as he turned 8 this year. He stood his ground and came 4th in his heats for freestyle, breast stroke and even the 200 m medley against kids from years 3 and 4. I didn't even know he had ever done butterfly but there he was doing 50m of it as part of the medley! Arthur did well in his heats and came 2nd in his freestyle final so will go through to Zone for the third year running. A very hot day for parents and great fun for the kids.
The day before our Cole Classic swim we took the boat out across the harbour. It was a real scorcher and our picnic and swim at Store Beach was fantastic. As we approached home later that afternoon the thermometer read 42 degrees outside the car and it was 5.20pm!!!!!
