It is hot - now

A week or three later than rest of Europe, we are having a heatwave. It's been +30 few days now. Quite a change from last weeks +14 degrees...

As it IS hot, I can't take 'Suma to walks during the day, we try to get going in the morning. But we also need to wait for Aunt E to finish her porridge before she can join us... I can't do anything in the garden/yard during the day, because 'Suma wants to join me and because she's a dim and a black dog, she would het a heathstroke - because she wants lo lay in the sun! I mean she's my darling, but sometimes I wish she would have few more brain cells.

I can't imagine how insufferable the heat has been in southern Europe (way over +30 several weeks). We have AC machine to cool down upstairs and heat pump to cool down middle floor. 

Meals are very simple - I cooked a big fat piece of pork to make pulled pork. We have been eating it in several ways: hotdogs, hamburgers, tortillas (or burritos? never remember which they are), in salad, in sandwiches. In fwe days I'll get my first tomatoes and maybe - if I'm lucky- a cucumber! I've already got few tiny bellpeppers, and now spinach, chard and new zealand spinach are big enought to be picked occasionally. My veggies look so much better than I was hoping for!
