Hot

Men making fire

It's so hot here, 40C yesterday afternoon. We went out on the boat with a couple of friends and headed off to a small beach on a neighbouring island for a barbecue. Being on the water was absolutely the best place to be, and then we spent most of the day just wallowing in the water thinking how lucky we were to live in such a beautiful place. The only hitch was the disposable barbecue we had didn't want to light so Guy and Chris spent a very very long time trying to coax some life into it while Nicky and I made helpful suggestions. It managed to cook a few sausages but gave up on the pork chops.
I'm up early this morning (6am) as it's the only time of the day when you can get things done around the house without melting. So now it's off to feed the hens followed by a spot of ironing!

Haircut

I finally got round to giving Nancy a haircut. Her fringe was so long she could hardly see and after every walk I had to spend ages getting bits of twig and forest out of her coat. Also it's so hot here she is more comfortable. It took a long time and lots of treats to get it done and I think she looks beautiful!
