Jan 15th: Today the temperature was about 29 degrees, and as I write this late at night the temperature in our lounge is still 26 degrees. The boys schooled in the morning and then had another swimming lesson. Edward swam a whole length (33.3m) with some unrecognisable stroke but the first time he has tried this and gone out of his depth, so quite a breakthrough for him. This picture is of Jonathan about to fling himself into the water. In the afternoon we were busy looking after one of our chickens. Bobby was egg-bound. That means her egg was stuck and quickly becomes fatal if not resolved. This happened to her just before Christmas and the vet bill to sort her out was about the same as a year's eggs!! This time we put her in a warm bowl of water for a while (as per suggestions on the internet!) and half an hour later out popped the egg. Being so hot the boys were soon busy playing with water in all sorts of guises in the back garden.
