While extreme temperatures cooked the garden and the power grid we chilled in front of the fan.\u00a0Despite the heat Ember had one of her best 24 hours of sleeping in a long time, perhaps cosying up to her cot on our futons to catch some fan time made the difference. <\/p>\n

We spent a lazy morning with Bub playing in her birthday suit and tasting her first stewed pear. Sweetly sticky we had to wash both Bub and the sheets post pear, but both dried in an instant as the air hummed with heat.<\/p>\n

When the cool change hit, we took our first walk for the day. The cool air like silk on our skin after the searing 46C.<\/p>\n

I hope you all stayed cool today.<\/p>\n
