I'm such a bad mother!


It was a scorcher of a weekend with temperatures going well above 40°C.

We enjoyed a swim on Saturday morning. Regretting the decision to not buy the cow, we stopped at the shop to pick up our 12 litres of milk (that lasts half a week). The volunteers to duck into the 'AIR CONDITIONED' shop were numerous... and well practiced in the art of spotting specials of more than $1 off.

The hot mother, in her weakened state, bought two packs of four Cornettos... apparently 'saving' $4! Let's do the math, 8 Cornettos, 7 in the family... oh, well, the baby gets one too!

  2. No, actually that glorious task fell to me... bucket and washcloth in hand... and I can report that baby spit and ice cream form a kind of water-proof super-glue at 40 degrees or higher... but stickier!
