Oh Phillip, look at the Polar Bears

We had to put the air conditioning on last it was soooo hot! Today it was even hotter, with temperatures of 32*. We even had a humid X warning up until 11pm tonight.

Huffle and I went off before 9am to the Hamlet's Garden Club's plant sale where we picked up a number of lovely plants. We left the boys watching TV. Back home we all had breakfast and then got slowly ready to go out to Jeffs where we were supposed to see him to get some plants but he wasn't there. It was so hot, we couldn't hang around so went off to get a Gelato. Huffle holds the current award for DROPPER when he lost his ice cream last time and today he earned himself DOUBLE DROPPER because he did it again. Luckily he didn't lose it all. Today's flavours were Lemon Sorbet, Raspberry, Chocolate and Salted Caramel and we had to eat them inside the air conditioned shop as there was no relief from the heat outside. We went to the Dead Mans shop where Huffle purchased a fleecy jacket (juts what he needs right now brrrrrrr). There was a garage sale outside the cinema so we went for a look but it was mostly rubbish. The cinema was selling film posters though which could have been interesting except all the good ones were gone.

Next stop was The Tire and outside I watched Smallest paint a plant pot with a celosia in it. He did a lovely job and it is now sitting in his garden on his home made slab. We picked up our bits in the shop and as it was past lunchtime and we were hungry, we looked for somewhere to eat and then came home to jump in the pool. The water was 24* which is not bad considering it's only been open for a few days.

Everyone went in today and we swam, played, fished for leaves and found what we thought yesterday was a turtle and ended up being a squashed tennis ball. Thank goodness for that. We stayed in and around the pool until about 5:30pm. It was still very warm but we had kept the air conditioning on inside. Once we had our showers, we sat down with our tea and watched a bit more of the Scorch Trials and a bit of Britains Got Talent (we haven't got to the final yet so we don't know who won).

It's been a hot tiring day. We took Small to the Pharmascist to check his foot out today. He has a funny bump on the bottom which doesn't hurt unless you press it. The only thing we can think it is, is that last year he stepped on a nail and it went through his shoe and into his foot, but that was ages ago. The Pharmascist said we should take him to the doctors. I'll do that next week and go to the walk-in.

Could the bump on the foot be a planter wart? Our young man has one at the moment too. It seems to have gotten hot so quickly there. So lovely you have the pool to cool off in. Xx

Do you mean a verruca? No it's nothing like one. It's a hard round lump. I'm thinking its a cyst. Haven't mentioned much to him about what they do to get rid. He tends to worry.
It has got very hot very quickly and we are very lucky with the pool (went in fully clothed today!!). Xx
