The big push towards Scarlett's first day of school began yesterday with her last day at Wattle Lane, the day care centre and preschool she has attended twice a week since 2005. Most of her mates left before Christmas so it wasn't too emotional for her. Instead she got to have a big cuddle with some of the women who have looked after her over the years and with two of her mates, Jean and Juno (and Florence), who don't start school until next year. She'll still get to see the carers when we go to pick up Florence who will stay on there two days a week.
In other news, it is absolutely roasting here at the moment. We are getting up at least once a night for cold showers, our fans are on full blast and we are trying to keep the house cool in the day by shutting all the doors and windows. I know we shouldn't complain, but jeez Louise, today it is supposed to be getting up to 35 degrees. Even the lizards are looking for shade. At 8am it was already 27 degrees. As a result of the heat we can't get our grass to grow at all as it is either getting fried or getting too much shade from our gum trees and tropical palms. Rob turned action man tree surgeon last weekend when he scaled one of the trees to hack away at some of the bigger branches in the hope of liberating the grass.
