It has finally cooled down a little and it looks like we'll be able to stop sleeping under wet towels for a while. The human brain is quite imaginative and resourceful when it needs to be - although, to be fair, this is a trick we heard about some years ago from K and her husband - and describes how they survived one incredibly hot Summer in Dubbo - or was that Wagga? In any case, S seems to have remembered it - otherwise it would have been much more uncomfortable around here.
We're hoping it rains again soon; even though M says the tank is full, it would be nice to know the water we're using while the bore pump is out of action was being replenished. Hopefully the pump man will come today. And the lawn mower man - because it is starting to get to be that time again and I would really rather do the lawn with ROM rather than with the push mower.
M's busy at the moment doing a training course; it's the second day today. I'm not sure if she's enjoying it yet - you can enjoy things even if you describe them as "heavy" going! From a purely selfish angle, it's a nice change to have someone else awake in the mornings besides the furries! But, no, I won't be getting too used to it - and nor would I want to wish it on anyone!
M and S went to see Les Miserables at the Gold Coast Arts Centre on Sunday afternoon. They came out quite spent - it was obviously a very emotional journey! And they were more than a little impressed by Hugh Jackman's performance. It's almost (but not quite) enough to make me want to see it - together with the reports of Anne Hathaway's "Dream" performance. While they were off at the movies I was at my second day of the model yacht races at Emerald Lakes. It was quite interesting - big boys with big toys - there were few women racing in the classes I saw - although there were a couple of women officials/observers and a couple of female spectators. It was fairly hot out there by the lake and I picked up a tiny touch of sunburn because I wasn't quite careful enough.
