Oh my, it has been - and continues to be - a sweltering two days, with the mercury hitting nearly 40 Celsius/100 Fahrenheit. I've been in and out of the sun all this time helping my dad to organise our shed, hanging out laundry and such, but the heat is constant no matter where you go. Lying in my room right now, i may as well be in a bread oven, the stifling evening coaxing me to rise like dough. Unfortunately the only thing rising is my core body temperature and the sweat to my skin. I've polished off Austen's Persuasion and next up is Atwood's The Day of the Flood, another thick volume, this time for the apocalypse module.
My culinary prowess has also been put to the test when I pulled off a perfect tiramisu, and then a turkey lasagne today (using leftover roast turkey from Sunday).
Tomorrow sees me and the family going back to Hastings for a little shopping, a moderate amount of sea, and a high volume of sunshine. Better pack the sun lotion and shades, it's gonna be a scorcher!
Oh I may have forgot to mention the meal out to Pizza Express with my sister and a few of her old friends. That was an enjoyable affair as I knew them all well enough and we all had a laugh over pizza, calamari and dough balls - and then milkshakes, waffles and crepes in nearby ice cream parlour Creams (one of three in our town thanks to the recent cinema opening).
