Temperatures reached 100° today and much to our surprise there were people sitting out on the terrace under heat-trapping parasols at the restaurant instead of enjoying the cool of the air conditioned dining room. It was a simple but pleasant lunch in good company and some lovely earrings came my way too.
Still feeling tired, I had a wee siesta and rest on the bed for a couple of hours until it was time to head over to the bar to heat Lolo and his friend play the night away. JJ, Nancy, Kathy, her goddaughter, Nicole S and I soaked up the atmosphere of the full terrace and appreciative audience while bopping as we sat!
Weather:
38°, sun, stifling heat
2.8.17: Three Little Maids Are They!
There was even sadder news from Michel who phoned to say that his friend, the village dentist, had died while they were on a cycle ride out in the country. Michel, of course was in bits having struggled for 15 minutes to revive him while awaiting the emergency services.
On a much more mundane subject, the sweep came this afternoon to give my chimney a good clean in readiness for the pellet burning stove.
This evening Jim and Mags hosted a reunion of the group that went to Scotland but I felt so drained that I didn't really enjoy it as much as I should have. Feel tired and flat and I'm wondering if it's because I've let gluten slip back into my diet these last couple of days. Or maybe it's just the heat as temperatures soared to 95°
Weather:
35°, sun and no breeze at all
