The heat goes on

The hot season has arrived and unfortunately exam time as well! Ruth will be passing the French baccalaureate at the end of June and Rebecca has just one exam which will count towards next year. Here are some pictures of life at GII at 50 degrees C:
Dad working hard one Sunday afternoon (yes the water on the floor really is his sweat!)

Ruth has a special luxury: a fan so that she can revise properly for her exams! We were glad to go back to school just so that we could live in air conditioning for 7 hours a day!


Rebecca's holiday jobs included making the most of the one good thing about the hot season: mangoes!
 We've been drying them in our solar cooker...
And making mango chutney! It's a great way to get even hotter, spending hours stirring boiling vinegar!
I can't wait till I next feel like putting a jumper on!

  1. It sounds wonderful, and I hope it was worth all the time and the heat. It is getting more comfortable here in Montreal, Canada, now, the temperatures are slowly getting cooler, much to my delight, especially after the high heat and humidity we had.
