When it got sunny..

The last weekend was the warmest weekend of the year in UK! The temperature touched 30C in London!! We'll give a 'So?' as a response, but people here may almost faint.. So, this is what happened that weekend..

We lazy bums(Yeah, I am slowly graduating into one) did not even get out of the house. But we had the window open and on the warm Saturday noon, I sat by the window gazing at the small green park below. There were small kids in swimsuits. Why swimsuits, I thought. Maybe to get more of the sun, I guessed. But no.. The action had not yet started. All of them suddenly rushed to their homes on all four sides of the park. Whats happening? It was suspense time for me. Then, there came the first one.. a short n stout boy holding a pail of water.. Whats going on?? Then came two girls with two inflated baths.. a small one and a big one. Now I was getting the picture and that got me all hooked up. This boy poured his first bucket of water into the bath.. Then came out all the little darlings.. with how much ever water they could carry.. One in a milk can.. Another in a mug and a teeny weeny girl, in a glass!!! Yes she made some 10 trips home and back, slowly tiptoeing, carrying water in a glass!! I really felt like helping them.. But then I thought, they were enjoying every bit of what they were doing..



I guess this snap gives you a picture of my view from the window.. ;)

After lots of trips to and from their homes.. with water carriers of different shapes and sizes, their baths were nowhere near full. Its then that the parents decided to help them. And guess what.. They fitted a hosepipe for them into the park. Hurraay!



As you can see, things were quite easy now.. They thanked their parents by spraying water all over them with the hose. And started filling their baths too.. And yes as the baths got full, they were very impatient.. And so was I.. And finally.. Bloooom!!



And I wished, I could dive from my window and fall into that bath too.. ;)

Right Ette, actually I struggled a lot to take these snaps without getting beaten up by their parents. ;)

Veena, if the bath would have been slightly larger, I would have thought about it! ;)
