heat wave

and suddenly it became real hot again, from the moody weather we've had all May temperatures have now jumped, and climb to 35 degrees at lunchtime. Too hot to be outside, let alone dig in the garden or cut grass with the scythe!

So the cats and I have started to get up earlier, spend an hour and a half in the garden and then potter around a bit before it is time to go into the house until late afternoon. Today we mixed the cement for the window sills in the Atrio, so those are now "burning" slowly in their forms.

Mind you, the hot weather IS good for the tomatoes, just need to make sure they are getting enough water and a little supportive stick. And there is always a bit of a breeze, so we really can't complain.
