Jan 8th: I'm sorry the photo isn't a very good one, but I wanted to show you that it really was very hot today. The boys had a swimming lesson at 9.30am and it was warm and sunny, but as the morning went on a thin cloud moved over and the temperature and the humidity went up. At half past 2 it got to over 32 degrees. The chickens were panting and not looking well, so our neighbour rushed round with a fan to cool them off! I got out the hose but they were less impressed with that! Fortunately all the gardens here have a sprinkler system so there is no effort at all keeping the flower beds and vegetable patch watered. There don't seem to be any restrictions on using water, and there are no water meters so everyone has their hoses and sprinklers on every day. It's now just after 5pm and still over 30 degrees!
