Well summer has come early, the heat is on!. Hopefully this is not a sign of things to come.
We did make the most of the warmer weather and take part in a few summer time activities 
After 8 months off the road, Steve’s dirt bike actually made it out of the shed and off-road! After a few major repairs and a lot of hard work Steve loaded up the Ute and headed to the hills for a long-awaited ride…….
…..for a whole 15 minutes until a stick when through his rear tyre and that was the end of that!. On a positive note, the bike ran really well until then and he now has a new tyre so hopefully this weekend will be met with a little more success.
Sunday was hot, hot, hot and with 2 out of 3 children sick, the planned day out was put on hold and we decided to wash the cars, all 3 of them (with tank water of course). The Chev came out of hibernation for a wash and polish, then she was put back under wraps in the garage until we actually get a chance to make it out of the driveway!.
we washed the other 2 cars and then the fun really started…..A WATER FIGHT!…..again with tank water 
the kids could have kept going for hours but we ran out of balloons and didnt want to waste too much of the precious wet stuff , who knows when the next rain will be. It was so much fun. It’s easy to forget what our children are missing out on with the drought continuing. No sprinklers to run through, conserving every last drop of water. We did feel a little reckless filling up 45 balloons but we have over 3000lts in our tanks at the moment and decided “what the hey!”. Lucky for me I had the camera so Dad was the major target
Please excuse the less than perfect pictures but I am using the Manual setting full-time and it’s still a bit hit and miss LOL.
Hope you all have an enjoyable week, stay cool ( or warm, for our international visitors) and Uncle John, I will post a picture of Matilda’s new seat next time.
