Phew!
This weekend saw the start of some pretty warm weather, mid-30s and higher on both Saturday & Sunday. Anna was out attending the final practical day of her TAFE course on Saturday, while I was helping a hashing friend of ours, Sam, move house - so we both got pretty sweaty. After our exertions, a swim seemed like a good idea, but neither of us could raise sufficient energy, so we decided to go the following morning. Sunday morning, and we were off to the Ryde Aquatic Centre, to try and escape the heat for an hour or two. It was my first time there, but Anna had been with a friend a few weeks ago. Although it was quite busy, we were still able to do a few laps without crashing into people, plus it will be a good location to take the baby to next year, as they have specialised classes during the week. After lunch, we managed to arrange with another hashing friend, Henry, to come round and help me move the wardrobe upstairs. Anna was a little skeptical that we'd be able to manage with just the two of us, but we made it OK - so, once we decide exactly where to put it, we can do the last of the unpacking! In the afternoon & evening, Anna was practising the violin for her upcoming performance with Balmain Sinfonia, and I was off for a run with the Full Moon Hash (yes, it was still 35+ degress).
