While you are watching the movies why not eat some frozen fruit kebabs? I skewer pieces of my favourite summer fruits (banana, grape, kiwi, apple, strawberry, pineapple, watermelon) onto kebab sticks and place in the freezer where they are left either to chill, or to freeze completely. They are so cooling, and as they take longer to eat than a popsicle the kids will be entertained for longer.
My favourite ice tea treat is simple black tea, chilled and then mixed with lemonade, it looks like a shandy but you can still drive and it is more refreshing than alcohol which is actually dehydrating.
Another simple tea is twinings peach and raspberry tea bag, chilled and served with ice, I love it.
What are your favourite summer treats? I hope we will soon have the weather to enjoy them, at the moment I have been having unseasonal rain and thunder.

Afternoon Starry,
Did it surprise you that I went out and bought as many Heath Ledger movies as I could find after his passing?
As usual, I will take note of your movie list and keep them in mind when shopping.
For once, I can actually say that I have seen a couple and have others that are in my cupboard. Not yet out of their packaging.
Love the idea of the refreshing cool summer drinks...
Talk later Chez xo
Hi Chez, my movie list seems to stretch forever, I will have to do some more lists in future. The tea and the fruit really chill me during the worst heat waves. After my complaints that we are having wintry weather I have heard we can expect 35 degrees shortly. That will come as a shock to the system as we haven't built up to it slowly.
In a comment on your post you said you are having trouble loading page templates, well so far I haven't been able to load photos or graphics here, so I am in the same boat as bigpond really - must be vista?
Have a great day, xxx Starry
