Heat wave
All of Europe, including the UK and Ireland, have been experiencing a heat wave this week. Whereas the UK, France, Italy, Spain, and elsewhere have shot up into the 40s, Ireland stayed in the 25 to 30C range. Thank goodness. We only hit 18.5 yesterday and 23.5 on Sunday, 25.1 on Saturday, 20.7 on Friday and 19.3 on Thursday. That was quite the change from the frigid temps before. I should have gone out to Aleria and put a coat of the wood skin on the brightwork, instead I've been lazily tending to the gardens. I also got out in the kayak again finally. Why couldn't this weather have come while we were out sailing? It would have been so welcome.
