Last week we were in the midst of our second heatwave here and the temperatures were just insane, not quite prepared for that level of humidity and heat. At least by the evenings the temperatures were manageable, so Monday after work we headed down to the beach for an evening beach braai there and a cooling off swim.

Tuesday was just too hot to really do anything, but that evening we put on the projector in the kitchen and sat outside watching the English vs Ghana game. Wednesday was much the same, but after work headed over to Lancing Beach for a swim, followed by dinner at Longshore Pub and then back home. On Thursday and Friday we again headed down to the beach in the evening after work and once the intense heat had subsided, which was a welcoming relief for a nice dip in the sea.

On Saturday we had the morning at home, with a lunch time braai and then down to the beach again in the afternoon to enjoy the low tide. And yesterday we had a Brighton day, with it being William's birthday party at Pizza Pilgrims, so we all made our way into town and while Ellen was there, we wandered around Churchill Square Shopping Centre with Ian. While Una went to fetch Ellen, myself and Ian stopped in at Mad Dog Brewery Co. Taproom for a drink, and later joined by Ben and Alice before they left and we headed down to Brighton Music Hall for a drink, before grabbing dinner at Five Guys then heading home.

At least this week is meant to be cooler with some welcome relief from that heat. It was just a bit much last week, so we're all looking forward to some normal June temperatures.
