A week of temperatures above 40C. Sweltering conditions with the extreme heat causing high risk bushfire conditions at home. It was coincidental that a planned trip to the beach happened to fall in the same week. But welcome - completely welcome! Thanks to Oma's keen eye for comfy accommodation we stayed close to the beach and visited the crashing, noisy water every day. We rode (or at least attempted to) waves, ate simply with coolness being the priority, drank loads of ice water (in between chilled ciders and pale ales), played Cluedo (of the Phryne Fisher variety! Phryne is my hero..) and generally did our best to beat the heat. Full body immersion in large volumes of water really is the only way. Thankyou Oma for a beautiful week. xx
Hoping you got through the week without too much discomfort and are enjoying the cool change..at last. And to the northerners..keep warm!
