From 36 to 24

Yup, the temperature has dropped from an almost melting 36° to a much more pleasant and slightly breezy 24° in just 48 hours.

We've opened all the windows and doors in an effort to get the breeze through and cool down the inside to something like the outside.  Despite having the shutters closed all day to keep out the sun, the temperature creeps up during the summer months - luckily never matches the outside maximum though.    It's currently 28° in the lounge.

Dark clouds to the north of us,  brighter but still cloudy to the south  and some enormous raindrops are splodging down as I write.  Not sure what the next 48 hours has in store - August can be unpredictable and is usually cooler than July which is why the 36° took us by surprise.

I had almost 3 kilos of tomatoes in the drier first thing this morning which I've had to take out  as without the sun there's not much drying going on in there,   and there's another 2.5 kilos waiting in the kitchen.   Maybe mañana!
