Here we all are enjoying some relief from the sun. Over the last 2 weeks we have had temperatures hovering around 37 degrees celcius (98F) to peaking last week at 42C (109F) for 3 days in a row. As you can imagine this has been a nightmare for us both and all the children home for the holidays. Well we decided to make use of Brooklyn's pool from her birthday and all piled over to Nanny Sue's house for a swim. Mum and Dad had installed 9000 litres worth of rain water tanks in 2 tanks last month so now was the time to test them out.
We are on tight water restrictions here in Victoria as our water levels reach 35% capacity. You cannot fill pools, spas, wash cars, water grass or concrete and you can only water 1 day a week between 5am and 8am. Strict hey?! HOWEVER!!!! If you are using tank water and have displayed a sign on your front fence stating Tank water in use then YOU CAN GO FOR YOUR LIFE! And that's just what we did.!!!!
Brooklyn and Jacob both enjoyed helping Nanny water her garden with tank water connected to the tap. Cooling themselves down in the process.
Now I know that these photos are dark but we set up a pool in the yard and covered it with a shade tent because we would have been burnt to a crisp in 5 minutes.
Somehow Charlotte ended up naked in the pool and was possesive of that bucket!
Don't you love a sunburnt country! Sometimes snow would be nice! Don't know which is worse! Enjoy your Christmas break, we are certainly enjoying our summer break! School starts again in 2 more weeks.
