    Howdy,

    Hey folks!

    I hope you're all doing well. Yesterday was the last day of school for my daughter and now it's the summer hols for her. This time of year mean I get to spend more time with her and get to do some cool stuff.

    What cool stuff have you got planned for your kids or just yourselves over the summer period?

    Well down under, mid-year school holidays are coming to the end. While is been cold/wet in Melbourne - and 10-12 degrees during the day, I've actually been with my kids in Malaysia, for the last 3 weeks where every day has been around 32. Humidity sucks.

    Kids have been playing tennis at a tennis academy here - hosted in an English international school - Epsom College. They've been boarding at the college, while my wife and I have been in an AirBNB 20klm away.

    This weekend is the end of the training, with a tournament today/tomorrow and monday - after which we'll head to KL for a couple of days before heading back home.

    Its been good. I've had 3 weeks off to catch up on many todo things that I've wanted to do, but time never really gave me the opportunity.

    I'm back at work on Friday, not looking forward to that - Ive kinda enjoyed 3 weeks off not thinking about it...

    I didn't think it got that cold "down under".

    I heard that. Much of the US has been under some wicked heat over the past month with temps in the upper 30s, even 40. In Michigan, where I am, we've had days a few days around 35 or so with humidity in the 90% range...YUCK!
