By the time we got in at around 3.30, half of the pool was in shade; a good thing too, as I could only stand on tiptoe up the deep end and needed to be in the shallower end. Tracy's new nanny Brihida (not sure of the spelling - she's a Philipino), who was really nice and spoke good English, helped by passing the babies in to us.
We stayed in for about quarter of an hour, and all four seemed to like it. It was a perfect temperature for them and helped cool us all down on such a blisteringly hot day. They were all rather tired by the time we got out, though Emily just would not take a nap as I'd foolishly hoped she'd do.
Brihida is keen to take on a little supplementary cleaning job, and I must say it will be a great weight off me to take her on. I just can't find enough time to keep our flat to the standard I like. It's always so dusty with the hard flooring. Mind you, it does make you realise just how much dirt a carpet can hold. I'll be able to devote more time to ours and Emily's meals as I can't find time to planning menus at the moment.

that pool looked like a great idea. I think it'd be lovely for you to get a cleaner in; life's too short to spend time fretting about dusty floors. Been following the Olympics opening ceremony today; makes you wonder where we'll all be in 2012 ?
