Hot in the City

After yesterday's brief interlude, normal authorship is resumed... So - what's the latest news from Wadi?

It's hot, hot, hot! is the main headline. Although the forecast for the early part of next week doesn't look so good (boo!), at the moment it's hot down here. So - we're getting through a lot of suncream, and Sainsbury's are doing a roaring trade in drinks.

Today's programme was Aquaville, which ended up confusing most people. Primarily 'cause it didn't seem to have too much to do with water... However, there were alot of activities there, and the Explorers had the opportunity to crack the whip, build a house, have a cycle competition, kick rugby balls (current Jamboree record holder, Mark W...) and a whole lot more.

Once they'd done that, though, they did return to camp - which is now somewhat like an Aqua Ville - as there's the Mother of All Water Fights going on out there (your intrepid correspondent has sought refuge in the Internet Cafe!). So expect water rationing in the South East some point in the near future.

In terms of other news, Tom managed a night in the camp, and is a LOT better this morning, which is exceedingly good news! Anyhow, enjoy the BBQs tonight, and once more into the (damp) breach!
