Heatwave Ends - What a Relief

Sometimes it seems churlish to complain about the weather when in the round it is so fantastic here. But, and there always has to be a but, Monday and Tuesday of this week were horrendous.

The sky was blue, but it was incredibly humid with a strong, warm wind. These all combined to create a couple of stiflingly hot days where even at night the temperature didn't drop below 35C. Normally on a hot day we sit in the shade, but with the warm wind the temperature was the same in or out of the shade.

Last night there was a fantastic storm, with thunder and lightning. Not only did this water the veggie patch for us (thank you) but it broke the heat. Getting up this morning has been a real pleasure with a bright blue sky and a gentle cooling breeze. Now we're certainly not complaining.
