It is swelteringly hot here and we're keeping cool inside with the A/C at 18C. We bought this portable unit, 3 years ago and wondered if perhaps we had spent our money without thought, but we've really appreciated it in all this heat. I'm really appreciating it. happily watching the tennis, which I love. Our outside weather station says 29.4C and that's on the northside of our bungalow, round the side. On our west facing back, our thermometer is saying 32C!!
Dh has been busy painting our little pantry!! It is on the north side of our bungalow so cool in there. It measure about 4ft x 4ft and as we've been here 4 years it had been scuffed by tins, broom handles and the shelves we'd put in there, so the cream walls looked like they needed a freshen up. He emptied it over the weekend and we found tins and packets well out of date! Foods we fancied, but never got round to eating, so I expect that would have been me!
Anyway in all this heat my lovely husband having decided it'd do it over the weekend and beginning of this week, he's carried on regardless of the heat! It seemed washing it was not really worth it, so as the paint was there in the garage, Dh decided to paint it.. he wouldn't let me take a photograph of him togged up to paint, because he had on an old shower cap to do the ceiling!!
Tomorrow I am going to sort out the spice drawer and then the drawer with the kitchen bags, papers and cake bits like the rolling pin.
So then we need to do a deep clean in the cupboards and the under sink especially.. The window cleaner has been today so that means we should do insides too?
What an exciting week we'll have!!

Thank heavens for air conditioning in those temperatures!
It's been so hot here too and painting does not sound fun in this weather. You have a great husband. That pantry is going to be so nice when it's all fresh and painted.
Your pantry will be so nice when the painting is finished and everything sorted out or discarded. Good for Dh carrying on in the heat and funny him not wanting his picture taken in a shower cap. I can't imagine why not :)
If it was.my lovely clean fresh pantry I'd be going in there every time I walked past and glorying in the transformation ! Congratulations on getting it done.
Oh my you’ve been busy! But it will all be worth it and then you can stand back and admire your hard work. Enjoy the week! 😁
You put me to shame. The heat is my excuse to down tools.
I need to do some deep cleaning in my kitchen as well. I know I'll find expired food even though the last time I did, I vowed I wouldn't let that happen again.
It has been too hot recently, and I must admit when the temperature is too hot not too much housework etc gets done!
All the best Jan
