A summery summary

It has been a glorious week,  clear blue skies and very warm.  Although it was a bit chilly this morning and there is a coolish breeze blowing now,  by and large it felt very summery,  in fact shorts and t-shirt weather as you can see....

At the end of last year we started doing some outside decorating,  both the balcony from the lounge and the door leading outside from the dining room are on a south facing wall.  A white painted south facing wall.  Not something to tackle in the heat of summer!  Both doors have been re gloss painted a nice dark brown,  the balcony railings re done too,  and on Wednesday we started the house wall.  While I began doing from the door frame as far as I could reach,  John went looking for brushes with long handles to reach up and out with. 



Copious amounts of cold water and suntan lotion got us through the day,  continued on Thursday morning to the right where there is a shed,  and left as far as our seat.  Past the sat dish is an absent neighbour's property so not ours to paint.  All of ours though is now gleamingly white.  At lunchtime the thermometer on the shady terrace said 19.6......
