It has been hot cubed here in Jacaranda city. The new pool at our new house is certainly a new marvel, we wollow in it like fat pygmy hippos all day.  After her funtastic pool party she has made it her mission to become an independent swim star, so she practices as often as she can with her hello kitty wings.  8 week old Islakins, who doesn't complain about the heat, or anything else for that matter, has been taking heat related knocks.  Her skin in the little creases around her neck seems to glow brighter shades of crimson as the sun moves across the sky, and in a moment of sympathetic stupidity I decided to strip her of her nappy and allow the little madam to kick up her teeny heels in the shallow end.  I'm sure there is no law that prohibits spuddies to dip, it just didnt feel right to expose her new little body to the severely chlorinated pool.  I was most relieved when she did not infact melt away as I gently swayed her from side to side between the cool blue ripples. Here is the first photo of her first swim.
