Waterslide

Since Max was going to stay with us for three weeks, Dot made the smart purchase of a waterslide which he found very useful in our hot weather. It's only a piece of plastic which we lay out on our sloping lawn (or what's left of it after it has been scorched by a relentless sun). There's a tube down one side which is attached to the end of one of our three garden hoses and when we turn the water on a spray of water comes out along the length of the slide to lubricate it. Then Max can run up to the slide clutching an inflated air raft and dive on to it ride the mat. Here he is in action when the temperature was 32 C yesterday:

Looks like fun! Though there isn't much slope to your front lawn, it looks like Max is still managing to make it work for him!
