It was a Bank Holiday on Monday and a really, really hot day. Some people were saying that it was as hot as 42 degrees! It was one of the hottest days that we have had since we have been here. What made it all the more unusual was that the days preceding it, it had been cooler and rainy. I even had to get the duvet out!
In the late morning Anna went to a party. It was the 5th birthday of a little girl from school. It was at her house and there was face painting and a clown. All the kids had a great time! Nige and I also managed to grab a coffee; just the two of us!
The afternoon was especially hot (the hottest time of the day in Perth is from 3pm onwards) and so we went to cool off at the local swimming pool. We could hear our neighbour's kids in their pool and it made us very jealous. Unfortunately, everyone who doesn't have their own pool also had the same idea and so the swimming pool was packed - good though! We contemplated going to the beach but it was just too hot!
The photo is of Nige and Anna outside the swimming pool. People here, because of the heat, go to and leave the pool in their bathers! Seeing people walking out of the swimming pool in just their bathers and towel takes some getting used to. Especially when they just hop on their bike/motorbike!!
