hot, humid and stormy...

The weather has been pretty unpleasant around here...a cyclone has come down the coast...doesn't happen often...the last one was in 1978...I was in primary school and remember that...

It hasn't affected Perth much but we have had very humid weather and it is hot...about 42C yesterday here...and we had some very heavy rain yesterday...

First thing in the morning Evangeline rode Bella then we went to meet Rosie. In the afternoon we stayed indoors....Evangeline and I went to the shops late afternoon and got drenched leaving...so when we got home there was a lot of water around...so this is what the girls did...


Then Ben hosed them down!

And into the bath...it cooled off a bit in the evening so Ben and I started replacing the gates to the paddock...one smaller one for daily access to the horses and a larger one...we are gradually replacing the top rails as well...the old ones are a bit chewed from precious horses...

This morning we went up to the Farmer's Market at Kalamunda and then had breakfast at a cafe with friends...

Evangeline has been busy sewing ...she has two great books...both easy for her to follow and do things by herself which she is loving...

Made by Me she got for Christmas and Sewing School arrived in the post the other day....

Her sewing kit which I put together for her Christmas present has been a hit...and the needle threader means she can be independent especially now she has learned to tie knots...She has made a needle book and a pin cushion today...She has done a great job for a 7 year old....

And now she wants to start a doll...and there is a ribbon bag next on the list...

We will get out and finish the paddock gates later too...Lissy
