We've having daytime temperatures around 35 C at the moment, which, frankly, is too hot for me.
All essential work is done in the mornings, anything not essential just has to wait. I'm on holiday. It's siesta time.
Everywhere is dry, dry, dry. Even watering does no good, the water evaporates far too quickly. We need rain.
Simple salads for lunch, and quick-n-easy dishes for supper; with plenty of 'Magnums' and swimming in between.
Tourists are everywhere, they stay up till 'all hours', shouting, laughing, and playing ghastly music. Summer is with us, and occasionally it's all invasive.
Yesterday it was 39 C, and the air smelt as if it was about to catch fire. 39 C is the temperature at which humans melt.
This human didn't melt at 44 degrees in 2009 but oh how the bush burned. Just slow down to a crawl in the heat.
ReplyDeleteAt a certain time in the afternoon, we stay indoors.

ReplyDeleteI'm in Zombi mode. It's going to be a scorching weekend, far too many city slickers and I'm watering the basil etc twice a day. Sunday temperatures, they say, will go down 5o. I damn well hope so.
Courage
Far too hot, and no rain on horizon. I'm beginning to worry about Global Warming.
DeleteRather you than me.
ReplyDeleteLady M said yesterday that she was looking forward to winter!
DeleteSame thing here only without a swimming pool.
ReplyDeleteWe're already too hot, and it's only early morning.
DeleteAs the last Ice Age comes to conclusion the climate gets hotter inevitably. Sometimes heatwaves come and they will be hot. Enjoy the cool interior of your house. I was enjoying your post until you mentioned global warming in a commemt. It's like Covid 19 and lets get the fear into the people and control them led by left wing neo liberal scientists.
ReplyDeleteMy reference to Global Warming was supposed to be 'tongue in cheek'.
DeletePhew, you had me worried there for a minute.
DeleteWe are predicted mid 30s temps today in the SE. I am taking the dog out an hour earlier than usual this morning and then I shall just rest in the house...back room where the sun doesn't go!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy it in the mornings, and avoid it in the afternoons.
DeleteI shall stop complaining to myself that I had to wear a winter jacket to work in the garden yesterday.
ReplyDeleteI've mentioned him before. 'Donald' from Lewis was on the radio again this morning. I now know that he comes from Ness, he smokes, and drinks coffee at 5am. He also has the most wonderful Scottish accent I've ever heard.
DeleteWhat programme was that, Cro? The Lewis accent is quite a soft accent.
ReplyDeleteHe occasionally turns up on LBC; at night. He has such an amazing accent that I'm almost surprised that he's not well known on the island. But maybe everyone speaks like that; it's almost like singing.
DeleteCro, I think it is the person I would know as Sweeny - Domhnall MacSween. His Mum used to work with me. He will have a Niseach accent which is pretty much the same as the accent most Leodhasacs have.
DeleteYour poolside and garden oasis is beautiful. The gate is better looking than most I've ever seen. Custom gates by Cro. Where do I place my order?
ReplyDeleteThe pool is nice, mostly because it's landscaped into the house and garden. It does mean that we get a lot of leaves etc in it, but we prefer that to it looking dull.
