The weather forecast underestimated the heat, as it was way more than the 23C predicted by the Meteorological Agency. On that basis I had dressed Emily in long sleeves and trousers, so I spent the morning worried that she was going to get heat stroke and hassling her to drink cold water. I worked up a sweat going over to meet Julia and Charlize in Midtown Park. We haven't been there for ages and it would have been nice if not so hot. The girls were a bit tetchy but pottered around the lake area in the various small watercourses in the rocky landscaping and played Pooh sticks on a bridge.
In the afternoon I took Emily to Hon Shiba so that she could paddle in the pools there. We had a nice hour or so playing well together before going home for early tea.
Nick didn't get home until 10.45, which I had kind of expected after a week off, but it was a rude awakening after our pleasant week together.
