hot

It’s really hot, everyone keeps reminding me that October is the hottest month and it’s definitely the month of sick bugs.

 

Yesterday we lazed by a friend’s pool while sipping Pimms and watching the kids play. Today it was back to real life, we were up in the night to our eldest being sick, followed by a frustrating morning for me including: a long wait at the bank to find that our money has not come through from the UK, the pharmacist didn’t have our anti-malarial drugs and then the car wouldn’t start. Oh and we still have no washing machine!

 

It turns out that the car was suffering from the soaring temperatures too and had overheated, the lack of water in the cooling system didn’t help the matter! A kindly mechanic from a friend’s company diagnosed the problem and I felt very silly especially as the car was full of a bag of wet nappies, the nappy bucket, a carrier bag of cash and two hot children!
