Home again

Hi romance friends,
I am home again after a very hot week at our beach house. It is not often so hot which made it difficult to work rest or play. The dogs really felt it one day, at one point I put Pippi under the tap as she was too hot to go down to the beach and seemed quite distressed. She loved the cool running water and recovered quickly. We were lucky as a cool southerly came across the bay but it was extremely hot in Victoria and South Australia.
I watched the Australian Open last night which was some of the most amazing tennis I have seen played. Nadal and Federer are the best in the world and they demonstrated that every step of the marathon journey. Nadal deserved his win so all you Spanish fans out there congratulations for having such a brave and noble countryman. He is a fantastic athlete but also a modest and compassionate winner as he understands what defeat tastes like. I admire people who show true sportspersonship as it is seemingly rare these days when powerful egos get in the way.
I have just finished some revisions and wil now get back to my last words of my work in progress. I have to reread the whole thing again as I have had a bit too much time away to remember everything! I am looking forward to it though, it sometimes surprises me what things I haven’t noticed in an earlier read.
Hope you have a wonderful week wherever you are.
All the best,
Melanie x
