So how hot is too hot?
Hhmm, being a cold blooded girl who needs and likes a bit of heat to warm her body, I don’t mind summer temperatures in the low 30’s. Melbourne this week is experiencing a heat wave with temperatures over 40 degrees (104 +) all week. That’s hot!! Too hot to enjoy the outdoors, too hot for my thirsty garden AND apparently too hot for school. Yes… that’s right. The Princess has received a letter today to say her first day of school on Friday has been cancelled due to the heat wave.
Just when I thought I was getting the kids back to school. Oh well, I will just have to wait until next week for my Sanity week.
Well, at least the postal delivery I received yesterday will keep my mind off the heat. Two special parcels – how lucky am I?
The first parcel was from my beautiful bloggy buddy Linda, of Lilly Cottage in Queensland. Pop on over to visit Linda at Kiss Noises or Lilly Cottage to hear all about her wonderful Australia Day weekend spent with our mutual blogging friend Kris, from Tag Along Teddies.
Woo hoo…. lots of pink pretties in my parcel.
Linda has sent me a care package filled with lots of creative activities to keep me busy. Ssshh… there was also a stash of sweet things too but I haven’t told the kids or Gypsy. Is it wrong to hold out on them? Hhmm – no, I think not. After all, I will need something to munch on while enjoying creative play next week when my munchkins are back at school. Thanks so much Linda for your kindness. Made all the more special when I know your health is poor too.
A second much awaited parcel arrived too. It was my magazines I had ordered from the US several weeks ago… clearly they took the scenic route to get here. LOL
Let me tell you, they were well worth the wait. The magazines ‘Where Women Create’ and ‘Artful Blogging’, published by Stampington & Company are incredibly inspiring. I’ve already flicked through both mags several times but look forward to sitting in a quiet place to savour and enjoy each and every page. Probably the perfect way to spend such a hot afternoon. If you are in Melbourne then I hope you are managing to keep cool.
Hugs,
Kerryanne
Oh Man I hate the heat 28 is about my limit but this is a Joke.
aND WE ARE BREAKING THE RECORD WHERE WE ARE FOR 50 YEARS,yEP 59 was the last time they had such temps…
And my first year in a new house with no aircon and designed to catch every bit of sun for the 9 months of the year we have cool cold or freezing weather…Ugh!!!!
Love al your goodies,Those Gals are great buddies to have…I have been popping by their blogs and seeing their latest catch up and they look like a blast to be around.
Keep cool…And too hot is now!
Hey Kerryanne! Oooooohhh!! Sounds warm down your way – thought of you last night when the news said there was going to be a heat wave. OK, so it started with a Dorris Day moment with you in a tropical outfit singing, “We’re having a heatwave, a tropical heatwave …” but it then moved to thinking that I hope you have air con and a good book! OR better still, some new activitie books to play with! Tee! Hee! Hee! We expect photos of your ‘play’!! Linda and I had a WONDERFUL play date, but on numerous occassions looked at each other and said, “If only Kerranne was here!!” Hurry and get better so we can arrange a trio play date!! Stay cool – Bear Hugs & Jugs! (of iced water!!) KRIS
Yes Kerryane you are right – Mills Beach – clever girl!
We’re boiling over here…whew it’s a bit much isn’t it….Cold Chicken and Salad for dinner tonight
I hope you’re OK???

Definitely way too hot!! Have fu flicking through your magazines
Mmmm I left the N off fun – but hey you know what I mean… must be the heat getting to me. 33 already…hot
Hi Kerryanne,
I was watching Sunrise this moring & they said at around 7.45 is was already 33 down your way, how awful.
I love your care packages that you have recieved, how lucky are you to have such good friends. I am thinking I will have to order Where Women Create, I toyed with the idea a couple of weeks ago & then kind of forgot about it, but since everyone is saying what great reading it is, I think I will have to get one.
Hugs,

We have the air conditioner on full boar and it’s still hot! How can that be? Anyway, wonderful goodies Kerryanne.
We have been experiencing hot weather here too but nothing like you poor guys.My poor boy had a bit of heat exhaustion last night after a busy day running around in the heat then cricket training,so I guess you wont mind if the kids can stay out of the heat for a few days.Love the goodies you got.Is’nt it exciting getting parcels in the mail.
hugs
Hi Kerryanne,
I really feel for you lot down south, I heard on the news about the heat wave, I love Summer more then winter but over 35 is just ridiculous, I hope that you manage to stay cool.
Cheers Linda

Oh My goodness…chuck aside my parcel those magazines are a little piece of Heaven…..I adore all Stampington magazines and as you know we don’t get them all here. I was thrilled the other week when one of the editors emailed me to ask me to submit some of my work……talk about a dream….life is good!! I hope you find your quiet spot somewhere cool soon, Kiss noises Linda Lilly
