#gettingthewashingdry

The normally desperate to be outdoors three year old has just demanded to come in and is now making his way through another gallon of water. It must be hot. 

There was a time when heatwaves meant suntans, skimpy dresses and strappy sandals. Today, my first thought was ‘how much washing can I get dry’ and then when we went into the garden to put the first lot out, my mind turned to how to keep an energetic monkey entertained when a sunny afternoon is going to be too hot to be any fun.
