It's hot outside

A week into our continental holiday and I'm already wishing it wasn't quite as hot outside. Sorry. The best time of the day to be outside is between 9 and 11am then it just gets too hot to move without sweating so you either stay inside or move in the shade.

Pics are of Baby Tessa who is now 9 months old and adorable and Romain cutting the grass in he and Julie's new house. Their house is great but pretty much a shell as they have gutted it to paint and bring it into the 21st century.

As ever I have been reading a lot while here (during the -no go outside- times) So far I've read -

The Secret Scripture by Sebastian Barry

The Comfort of Saturdays by Alexander Mcall Smith

Eclipse: Twlight no3 - Stephnie Myers

The vampire one was addictive, the Barry one thought provoking and the AMS one made you smile.
