Well, this week, Summer is out to show us her stuff, with a run of high 30's, low 40's temps...seriously, Im sure people have actually "Wizard of Oz" melted into the ground like the bad witch, on cooler days than this! It is steaming and though I love Summer and a bit of heat, 5 days (yes, Friday and Saturday were up there in the HOT HOT HOT stakes too) is pushing it a tad I reckon Mother Nature.
Here's our forecast for the next few days..
OUCH!!!On Friday arvo, we set up our pool for the season ahead. Its just a run of the mill, plastic sucker, brought off some cheapo Aussie online site (oo.com.au) but man oh man, it is a life saver on these days!
Days like today, it is too hot to sit at the beach all day (although we do have a HUGE shade we put up)
That's our big shade on the right there...its 4m square so we can all fit under it and stay sun safe! Even has enough room in the centre for the kids to play in the sand out of the sunshine.
Oh and thats our fave beach in Esperance too..Fanny Cove! Terrible name, great beach!
(Awesome photo by my awesome biggest sister, Lisa Palma!)
We are going to put our shade OVER the pool today, so the kids can hang out in it all day with no threat of frying, which does happen on occasion no matter how much suncream we "slip, slop, slap" on them!
The Australian Cancer Council has a great ditto for all Aussies and those travellers enjoying our Aussie sunshine...
So dont forget to SLIP on your protective clothing; SLOP on some sunscream (30+ is the best); SLAP on a hat; SEEK shade and SLIDE on your sunnies to protect your precious eyes. Not so hard to remember and much more pleasant than sunburn or skin cancer!!! I know what I'd prefer!
Now go and enjoy the Aussie beaches, relax in the sunshine but most importantly, look after number 1 - YOU!!!
Cheers till next time!
