Hello There !!
It is Monday evening, and I am home, unpacked and back on the computer, after a wonderful 3 days away. The weather was amazing, for the most part, although today started out very wet (finally !).
Yesterday was about 38ºC (very, very warm), and I spent much of the day hibernating with the airconditioning, watching old Elvis movies. It was lovely. If I had've been at home, I would have felt obligated to do some housework, or something else yukky, so it was good to not be at home !!
Saturday was pretty warm, too. We spent the morning at the pool, and the afternoon down by the lake. The water level has been dropping dramatically lately, so the lake edge is very muddy. Personally, I really dislike the squidgy feeling of walking through this mud, but the kids so do love it. Chicky and her friends had some amazing mud-fights, and smothered themselves in the stuff. They looked horrendous, and their bathers were disgustingly dirty ... but it all washes off, and is all good fun. Besides, mud baths are meant to be good for you, aren't they !?!?! The day started off with an amazing sunrise (I wanted to sleep in, but old habits die hard ... I usually wake up around 6.30 in the mornings, and it takes awhile to break that habit !)
We didn't do anything particularly exciting over the weekend, other than relax, so I guess I don't really have much else to say. I have a busy couple of days ahead, getting sorted and packed for our camping trip ... we are leaving Thursday morning early, coming back Sunday or Monday. Should be heaps of fun. We will be going back to nature ... no amenities, byo toilet, shower, etc. Good fun !!I might leave you all there, for now, but will hopefully post again before we head off again.Hope everyone has a great week.Take care,MEOW

It sure sounds fun. Back here in our Country it's also becoming to be hot. Wish could be in an airconditioned room the whole day but then electric bills will really be soaring high. We use the airconditioning unit when going to sleep at night to have a good night sleep.
BTW about my template...glad you like it but don't be surprised if one day you open and it's different again. I get bored easily with things thus the changes.
Nice photo! Time for the weather to cool down isn't it - we had some rain last week and today is much more pleasant than it has been.
Fridays Child ... I agree about the electricity bills going sky high with the airconditioning. But, we don't do it everyday, so it's OK. The house is usually comfortable by night, so we turn it off and open all the windows.
Megz_mum ... thank you. Where we were, they hadn't had much (if any) rain for weeks, and the days were constantly hot, so the rain was very welcome.
Take care, Meow
Nicole ... I agree about not knowing what's down there. Creepy. With me it is more a worry about standing on something sharp .. glass, a stick, a tin can, anything nasty. That can do a major injury !! Take care, Meow
Quote from my mother when confronted with a filthy daughter (we had had a productive afternoon fighting mud monsters intent on taking over the earth. Yup, we both got filthy. Yup, good triumphed over evil) and an explaination from the mother of my friend who I remember was a little nervous that she would be angry the mother of the friend allowed me to get into such a state and would not let me play with the friend in question any more:
"She'll wash. My turn next week?"
Good ol' mum.

I hope you all had a blast and relaxing with movies, sweet, Elvis sweeter , he is sooooo easy on the eyes! They dont make them like him any more ! hope you get some mud between the toes on your next journey, thats what is all about, the kids got the right idea, and mud is suppose to help pull the toxins out of the skin??????? wishing you a great time , on the next trip, play safe , and bring all your blogger buddies home some nice snaps (PICTURES), do you have the fires and melt the marshmellow? LOL have fun ,take care
