Summertime, and the living is easy...

Well, it has to be when it's this hot. The forecast is giving it to be 37 degrees today and for once, it's not wrong. It was possibly hotter on our terrace today at lunchtime and we ate inside for the first time in ages. Phew.

Seeing as it's too hot for us to have done anything of much interest I thought I'd post a selection of photos I like, taken during the last couple of weeks or so.



A flower from what we think is an ajo-puerro (garlic-leek). They grow in our garden every year without us doing anything to them. Even if we pull them up they still reappear the following year, although we tend to leave them so we can enjoy the flowers.







Moonrise over the mountains. We've caught a few of these recently as it's now hot enough to eat dinner outside, and we take full advatage.






How to spot a black cat on a dark night.




Three of the luckiest cats in Asturias, on the terrace in the cooler evening weather.

And finally, this is where I'm hoping to laze tomorrow, joined by a good book, a glass of something cool and refreshing and maybe a cat, if I'm lucky.

Oooo, I would like to have a go on that hammock!
Which one is the black cat and do you know for sure they belong to him/her?
Nice warm day here too, but according to Mr Weatherman it won't last, but that's England for you.
Just done a blog on Macclesfield Sheepdog Trials.

Rachel, your place looks like a dream.... (I love the last piccie there - how delightful!)

Yes, it would've been even more delightful if I could've made it on to the hammock on Sunday, but it was cloudy all day and then it rained. Maybe on my next day off.

Lorenzo, it was definitely Beeps as we saw her bounding over there and shortly afterwards Mahou chased her out of the shadows.
