New years day!

Today was Damn hot, about 38 most of the day. The Airconditioner in the can struggled all day to try to keep us cool, and it was just a bit warm to go out for most of the day.

Later in the day we did manage a swim in the river, which was a great temperature, but very cloudy. About 20 centimetres below the top of the water you could no longer see your hand. This did make me a bit concerned about the kids, as I could not see where they were underneath the water. (interestingly enough, as I write this a bit later on there was a Man who tried to swim across the Murray with a friend  (further downstream) and drowned, and they did not find his body for 2 days).

After that we moved to the swiming pool, which the kids loved, and it was much cooler!
