Whew tis 'ot! Our weather station is registering 29.5C and the sensor is on the north side of our bungalow, on the patio SW facing, its 35C!! The small screen of the weather station has on it a little man, who is clothed according to the weather; today he's in the teeniest teeny, tiny pants! We've just had cheese and biscuits and a cold drink, not alcohol. that would be awful for my bladder! I've had a Mimms, a mock Pimms. It's sugar free lemonade and a table spoon of Balsamic vinegar, with slices of fruit.. hits the spot for me; a Slimming World drink.
I have the fan cooling me down. I'm a bit itchy, not just because its hot, but because we had baked salmon and green salad for lunch and I have an allergy to prawns and fish, but I can cope with a bit of head itching so aren't giving it up. I've dressed for the weather, a cotton tee shirt fabric dress and no waist slip! We're having to water the garden, but we always do, we're not going to let our trees and shrubs dry up. Although we have a meter we're happy to pay, we don't spend our money on anything else, plants and care of our garden. May be books as well!
I'm reading 'Homecoming,' by Kate Morton and I'm loving it. I may have read 'The Lake House.' but so long ago I can't remember.
And I'm really excited because she's written loads, more for me to read! I can't believe I've not read her books before.. this was a kindle offer. Although I like real physical books, I love my kindle. So easy to read, you can enlarge the font, and mines back lit so no need for a light at night and easy to carry around and light weight to hold in bed.
What would we do without books? Me? Perhaps some more house work. When I was a young mum I used to dust and vac every day!! I must have been mad, and must have worn the carpet thin! Thank goodness I came to my senses! These days I say to Dh, this carpet cost over £1,000 we're not wearing it and us out!! So once a week is enough and the carpet never looks as though it needs a vac!
We've had some rumbling, thunder? But the sky's still blue and the sun's shining.
Hope you've had a pleasant afternoon too!

Irs been lovely but I think it's got to cool down a bit over the weekend at least. I have Homecoming on my to read pile, not sure when I'll get round to it though.
I think I read the book the lake house so I will have to look to see for this other one. We've had up and down weather here one day it's a little steamy and the next it's pouring down rain and the furnace is still running in the mornings. One of these days it'll just go from what they call Spring directly into hot summer.
That's hot! I haven't read any Kate Morton, but I know her books were very popular at our library.
So early in the season to be so hot. Stay cool!
It's quite cool here today, 45 degrees right now!
I read The Lake House and really liked it. I'll have to look for more of her books.
That drink sounds very good!
Housework is always there to be done and the house is never grateful. Good for you to take it easy.
I shall look out for Kate Morton... No slip! What would our Grandmother's have said?
Baked salmon and green salad sounds delicious.
All the best Jan
Wow! It's hotter where you are than it is where I am! It just went up to 21C over here! I'm jealous!
I've only read one book by her, the Secret Keeper and thought it was great. I'll have to read some more.
It's lovely to find a new author that you really enjoy and even better when they have written quite a few books. Happy reading, Chris.
