Summer came back.
OK fine then.I'll just strip back to my undies again.
On Saturday I slipped on my massive cotton bloomers to take The Stylist to ballet and scare the natives.

During the wee lassie's lesson I did a quickie around the op shops and grabbed this vintage cotton sheet and books for a buck each.Bargains!
The sheet has been turned into a curtain for #3 Son's room and the girly book will be put away until I need to read it - ha!
I was very impressed with the sheet, I've never seen one like this before.I love the Australia-specific signs showing our largest east coast cities and koala crossing warnings.
Yes, to the non-Aussies, we have koala signs warning motorists to slow down at night when the little darlings tend to party, get high on eucalyptus leaves and go hump-happy.
Can't allow traffic to get in the way of a good night out can we?
After a sweaty dance class, The Stylist and I shared an ice cold frappe.
Oh c'mon who are we kidding?It was a beautiful, hot day so we went for a cool dip.
We live up the road from this salt-water wading pool built during the Depression-hit 1930s as part of the Unemployment Relief Scheme.It's only hip deep and was originally built for holiday-makers to race their model boats and splash around in.
The installation of a modern filtration system means we can swim in freshly pumped salt water from Moreton Bay, a couple of metres away, without any jellyfish and nasty stingers chasing after us.
It's not as good as the surf, but it sure beats melting and I love that the kids can cool off and enjoy a bit of local history on hot days after school.
