Throwing water and getting soaking wet seemed a very sensible diversion from the overwhelming April heat. You basically have a choice of accepting it and staying cool, or losing your temper and being a misery guts. It's not a bad idea to at least look like you are enjoying it even if you aren't. Just grin and look stupid and you'll be fine, if a little on the damp side. It was incredibly hot as I clambered aboard the back of the pickup with assorted village kids and giant-sized buckets of water.
