Crazy hot weather has continued for the past week with it peaking at around 38 in the shade each day and barely dropping below 22 at night. It's been a struggle to keep the house cool!

Justin, Emily, Thea and Myla came over for lunch on Sunday and it was good to catch up with all their news. Thanks for the saucisson!

The bathroom make-over is complete - the last single glazed window has been removed and blocked up (it never was very comfortable sitting on the loo with people eating their dinner outside the window on the terrace!), new oak trims, some teserae outside the shower, plus a general repaint. A new window for the porch also.
