It's getting hotter here again - seems we can expect around 30'C in the next couple of days. Today "just" around 26-27, but with the sun glaring from a clear blue sky without a cloud in sight, still feeling too much for me. I've been out twice but only short distances. Before noon I walked to one of the two small convenience shops in my neighbourhood and bought a big box of ice cream (1.5 l, which I was just about able to fit into my freezer, which is rather small and was already rather full of other kinds of food). After lunch I fell asleep for a while; and then in the late afternoon (after some ice cream!) went for a short stroll to the old cemetery, keeping in the shadow as much as I could. Before turning back home, I sat down there for a while (also in the shadow), on a bench in the memorial grove overlooking the chapel, near a little fountain providing a "cooling" sound.
The next few days for me aren't likely to include any longer outings either.
Sitting near a fountain is refreshing when it is so hot. It's wise to keep out of the extreme heat, if you can.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the visit, Dawn. I was fascinated by the comment that you do not use butter. Probably because I use it a lot. I mentioned in my reply, what do you use instead?
ReplyDeleteYour photographs are lovely, and a stroll, a nap and ice cream. HaHa, it doesn't get any better. Have a great week.
