Hot!!!!

 The heatwave arrived here properly today..30⁰ (and 32 further South in Dumfries and Galloway). Nothing compared to where I was in Limoges...39⁰...and 41 a little further South.

Oddly enough this evening's Duolingo session was about la canicule...heatwave...and grêle..hail...

windows and curtains. and blinds all shut and a good book...and computer..indoors all day.

Not the front window as I was expecting a delivery today which arrived just after 5.30 pm. The driver was a courteous young Sikh..I offered him a cool drink of water, which was welcomed. The bottle of drink in his van would have been hot! He wouldn't have seen people at every drop..but it sounded as if this was the first drink he had been offered. 

Something we should make a point of doing this weather.

Tonight I'm on the sofabed downstairs where it is cooler. I'm very glad I managed to buy it !!

northwest to the sunset..and to the southeast a fairly fast moving cloud..at 9.35pm.

there isn't much cooling breeze at ground level
