Hey guys!<\/p>\n
Hope you are all surviving this hot weather.<\/p>\n
I was so hot the other day I had an extra cold shower in the middle of the afternoon. But then I felt really bad about wasting water so I came up with another plan.<\/p>\n
I asked my mum if I could have her old spray bottle – the one that had stuff in it to clean the windows.\u00a0 She had put it in the plastic pile to be recycled. I always go and nose around in the recycling pile to see if there is anything interesting that I can re-use or modify. Think I sometimes drive my poor mum a bit crazy.<\/p>\n
I washed the bottle out very well, using some sunlight liquid to make sure that all the nasty detergent was gone. Then I rinsed it out several times too. I thought it was okay to use all that water because I\u2019m planning on using the bottle for quite a long time.<\/p>\n
Then I filled the bottle up with water and put it in the fridge for a while.<\/p>\n
Later on, while I was doing my homework \u2013 I sprayed my legs and arms with nice cool water. It worked a treat. If you\u2019ve got a fan \u2013 you can also spray the water into the fan and stand in front of it \u2013 that works well too.<\/p>\n
But be careful not to make your books all wet and smooshy though, otherwise your teacher will be miffed with you.<\/p>\n
I know some people are lucky and have swimming pools that they can use to cool down in \u2013 but we don\u2019t. So I had to think of a clever plan instead. My Grandmother always says to me, \u201cSibo! When you have a problem, you have to put on your thinking cap and figure out a way to solve it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sometimes it\u2019s fun thinking of ways to unravel problems. And sometimes it is easier than we imagine. It\u2019s the really simple things that work and make a difference.<\/p>\n
Did you know\u2026 the 22nd<\/sup> of February is World Thinking Day?<\/p>\n Imagine that! A whole day dedicated to thinking about thinking.<\/p>\n \u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026..<\/p>\n Cool word for the week:<\/p>\n Word:\u00a0 miffed<\/p>\n Meaning:\u00a0 to be annoyed with, to be displeased<\/p>\n Example: I left the recycling pile in a mess when I took out the spray bottle and Mum was miffed with me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hey guys!
