Jen, domestic duties? No roll going on there! I've hardly done anything the past couple of days. I had my niece and nephew here yesterday - aged five and two - and that was exhausting. My back is letting me know about it today too. At least Ben had fun playing with them all day. The house is a pigsty and I have no energy either.

So bloody hot here again. Another air-con day and I'm even considering driving to the in-laws for a swim. We've decided to pull our pool out so we're letting it rot in all it's green glory until we can get a pump to drain it. Hopefully that will be this weekend, but there is a long list of things I want to get done this weekend - including painting Ben's room. Yep, it's STILL not done.

Stay cool everybody!
