Summer is here



Top picture is outside the house, 2nd picture is C and D by the store room.


The past few weeks we have had a load of rain as the annual rainy front passed over Japan.

This is great for the plants but causes havoc with every other aspect of life. Laundry never really dries and ends up smelling, then getting washed again and again. The whole house felt damp and mould grows every where. Took two bottles of mould destroyer to clean out the bathroom, looked great for two days!

Because this house is a lot smaller than the last place the boys have to share a room, plus I use the same room for teaching. Not an ideal set up. Last week I got really fed up of the kids bickering all the time, so we took off for the day. Typical of us we made no plan, just got in the car and drove. We ended up in city about 2 hours from here. Found a beautiful park, up in the mountains so nice and cool to walk around. Also found a great recycle shop and got the kids some books. All in all a nice day out!

Well the heat as started, 32C today forecast for tomorrow is 33C. HELP!!!

I really can't deal with the heat. Today was okay, I got up early, got laundry out, cleaned up a bit, did an early lunch then from 12 noon to about 3:00 just dozed or read with a fan on. couldn't convince the kids that racing around outside during the hottest time of day was a bad idea. D now has a headache, so maybe he has learnt his lesson!!!
