Hot Day

Lyca hangs her washing on the line as she sweats in the summer sun.  It is very hot and she decides it be best to go inside so that she won't get burnt!

Lyca heads inside of the house and cools herself with some lemonade.  The drink is very refreshing and she relishes tasting the cool sweet brew -  however a knock on the door breaks Lyca's attention and she moves off the couch to answer it.


"He Anne!"  cheers Lyca at the door.  "What are you doing here?"

"It's too hot to drive back home so I am stopping by;"  tells Anne as sweat streams down her face.

"Let's cool off with some lemonade!"  cheers Lyca as she smiles at Anne.


Inside of the house the two sisters share a drink of lemonade as they chat.

"So what have you been doing today Anne?"  asks Lyca.

"Shopping;"  tells Anne as she shrugs.  "All my groceries are sizzling in the car.

"Are they perishable?"  asks Lyca as she listens.

"No, they should be fine;"  tells Anne as she smiles.  "Thankyou for the lemonade;"  she adds.

"That is fine -  don't you know I keep it on hand for days like these!"  tells Lyca as she smiles.

"I am happy for that!"  cheers Anne as she grins.  "What did you do today?"  she asks.

"Clothes washing;"  tells Lyca as she smiles.  "I was sweating on the clothes as I put them on the line;"

"That is no good!"  tells Anne as she laughs.  "If you have sweat-marks before you wear them you'll know why!"

"I wasn't sweating that bad!"  gasps Lyca as she giggles.  "Just enough to make them a little dirty;"

"Oh well you'll get to wash them again by tomorrow!"  tells Anne.

Lyca giggles.

"It is probably going to be this hot for a week;"  adds Anne.

"Oh no!"  gasps Lyca.  "I thought I storm might get int he way;"

"Not likely!"  snorts Anne before a yawn makes her stop speaking.  "I am tired;"  she says.

"Would you like to lay down?"  asks Lyca as she grows alarmed.

"No, I best be going home;"  tells Anne as she wipes her brow.  "Thanks for cooling me down but I best drive home before I fall asleep;"

"Okay!"  cheers Lyca as she pushes the glasses away.  "Just you drive safe!"

"I'll be fine!"  tells Anne as she hugs her sister goodbye.  "I'm filled with lemonade and still feeling the bubbles!"  she cheers before she departs.
