Summer afternoon, summer afternoon...

The two best words in the English language.

All of a sudden we’re having real summer weather. Monday it was hot humid and 33C (with the humidex), yesterday it was still warm but with scattered thunder showers, the kind where it pours but the sun is shining. Today, it’s just 25C but the sun makes if feel much hotter. I’m working at home because the girls are at riding camp again and it’s just too time consuming to ferry them there and then go into the office. Also because if I’m home I get to have lunch in the back garden. We acquired two Adirondack chairs for around the fire pit, and I must say, they are truly one of those things that were perfectly designed for their function. Deceptively simple, but low slung, comfortable and with wide level arms on which to perch cool refreshing drinks. Ours even have a round groove to put your glass in. Anyway, I took my sandwich, iced tea, and book out there at noon and sat under the dappled sunlight, and thought…ahhhh this is that the last 6 weeks were suppose to be like.
