Polar Opposites

It's been heating up here in Sydney, so we have been spending a lot of time at the pool. On days we can't get to the pool, PJ still cools off with a lukewarm bath, and sometimes I take a few short, cool showers a day. We pump the fans and I drink an iced chai or smoothie. Such is life in summer without air conditioning. We try not to go out during the middle of the day, since not only is it hot, literally every day the UV index is in the "extreme" category. We have most of our walks and outdoor time in the morning and in the evening. 

Dealing with polar opposite weather, Michael's travel was disrupted by the snow on the East Coast of the US. He eventually made it to DC after 31 hours of total travel (it usually takes about 24). Mike also had an issue where his hotel room partially flooded, and he had to be moved. Lots of little things are going wrong on his trip; hopefully that's the last one. His business trip is half over, and we are looking forward to him coming home.
