Suddenly Summer

The temperature has gone roaring up. I've been routinely wearing an undershirt, a shirt and a jacket- plus fingerless gloves.  Yesterday I was wearing a tee shirt.

Odi rang mid-morning to say she was coming round to fix us lunch. She and Peter put together what they call a soup and I call a stew- with chicken, chickpeas and tomatoes- and so much rice there's half a pan of it left over. I opened a bottle of Ned Kelly Shiraz. I offered to put chairs in the yard, but Peter (this guy is from Cameroon, remember?) said it was too hot to sit out.

Fabi is 19 months old now. His idea of a good game is taking the bottles out of the spice rack- one by one- and throwing them in the laundry bin.

Life is good!
Too hot for Peter!
And time has passed so quickly since Fabi was born.
All power to the spice hurler

I like this weather. I don't suppose it'll last long.

It's been 32ÂșC here this past week...too hot for May even in southern Spain. At least the humidity is very low or we'd be in the tropics.

Your lunch sounds lovely.
:)

They left enough for us to be eating it again today.

Don't get used to it, it's dropping by about 10 degrees in the next couple of days.

I won't. This is England. The weather is always in flux. :)

aaaaaaah. Perfect day.

Just did another hike. 30k. Exhausted. Showertime.

This time last week we still needed heating in the evening. Hey, next week the heating will be on again. Gotta love British weather patterns. :-)

Too hot to sit out, eh? Wow! LOL
