Glad the heatwave is over.

Goodafternoon everybody!

Oh my, we had a couple of days of very, very hot weather here!specially two days were crazy. There were temperatures reached of 40,5 C and even a bit more!! No, that isn;t fun anymore. It draines out all your energy, all you can do is stay calm, not moving around a lot, stay indoors and sit it out.
You know i am a lover of warm weather and sunshine, but this was too extreme.
Glad yesterday is already was a lot cooler, we even had some rather severe rainshowers, not too long ones, but still.... there was water from heaven LOL.
The temperatures dropped a lot, I think around 25-28C or so. And that is much more pleasant I can tell you. Today it is cloudy, every now and then a bit of rain, not much, but that helps it cooling down and the plants just love it.
Coming week we will have more usual summer weather here, temperatures will go from 22-28C( depends on which side of the country you live). Perhaps with some rainshowers wevery now and then. All together I think it will be nicer and like that it can stay for me for longer time.

As you can imagine with that heat, I didn;t do much. I almost didn;t go out, just did the shopping for stuff really needed and that as close to home as possible. Also didn;t do much at the computer, even for that it was too warm, LOL. So I didn;t do any designing. Even didn;t make preview and download for clusters I received from Arlene, made with the last kit. Now how lazy is that?
I will have some ready next week for you, I promise.

So not much happened around here, although I had some plans for this week. Like looking for a new laptop for me and for Jan. Then we will have to look for a new oven, cooking plate and possibly a new fridge. The cooking plate is still working, LOL, but the oven died and my fridge is so very old, it needs to be replaced. But finance wasn;t that great lately, now we have some more "stretch" in it, now that we are pensionados. With that heatwave on, well, you can imagine it isn;t fun to go to shops for those kind of things, or for anything.
So I hope we will be able to do that next week. I learned to cook without an oven, but i would be soooo happy to have one again! You can do so much more and have more variety in food. Well, we will see if we will succeed soon.

Just yesterday I bought two new plants for the garden. I went to the market(the weather was just good for it after that heatwave) so I took advantage of the lower temperature and made a quick visit to have some fresh veggies mostly.
Then I passed the stand where I buy every now and then some new plant of bulbs and I saw a beautiful rose and couldn;t resist. It is a bushy one, not growing to hight just about 80 cms., but with a lot of lovely flowers. I will try to have a photo of it next week. And I also bought a Rudbeckia-species, with lovely brown, gold, flowerpetals. Photo also next week. I am already glad I managed to plant them yesterday afternoon. (And just good, that evening and night we had some lovely rainshowers!).

Good, that's it for today. I hope there will be a little sunshine today, just to make the day a bit more happy looking. Clouded weather is nice for a shorter time, but then I like to see some blue sky again.
Take care of yourselves, and be happy with every new day, although now every day might be a happy day. Hmmm, strange kind of ending a blogpost, isn;t it?
But... I think there is some truth in it.
