The song 🎶 “Summer Loving” (Grease) springs to mind this weekend…
Although still recovering, ❤️🩹 I have managed to play with our daughter this weekend in the garden. That is a bonus and memories to be thankful for. Helped with drinking lots of water and rest in available shade.
It’s hot in Scotland… unusual weather… and short lived, but this is the reality of climate change. It meant we could inflate the paddling pool and use it for a little while. My daughter loved splashing in the tepid water. No need to heat up as the sun ☀️ did that for us. Summers are hotter now than when I was a child. You tended to need a few kettles of warmer water to avoid going into shock… (not quite). Although our summers were hot in the 90s and 2000s 🔥 they were not as hot as they have been recently. This is only expected to increase over time.
Hours of fun in the sun. The best bit was we got it reduced in the spring sale at our local Argos. Today… we would not have got a bargain/ a pool. Glad we snapped up the deal and she loved it so much. Makes me happy when she smiles and plays.
I decided to make the most of the summer sun (too) and dress in my vintage inspired Ice Cream and sprinkles dress 👗 by Little Wings Factory (unfortunately no longer selling beautiful dresses). I do not get to wear it often. It’s special because my daughter chose it. I probably would not have chosen it myself, but it’s fun and cute 🥰. You only live once so why not wear fun things every now and then- helps support my recovery too.
Water was then drained to water the grass, and she used her watering can. Great 😊 fun.
