Last week the weather-men were talking of us getting a 'mini-heatwave' for two days on Sunday and Monday. I didn't believe them. These are the same weather-men that told us we were getting two weeks of very hot weather around the middle of May, continuing until the end of May. I half believed them that time but it never happened. Now you can understand why I didn't believe them this time about the mini-heatwave. But hey ... it happened ! On Sunday the weather was really warm. I think it was about 28 degrees C. We actually managed to sit in the garden for the afternoon. You know, like you do, with a few drinks (yes, of course, the alcoholic kind of drink) although I'm not sure we bought the bird bath for HIM to stand his drink in while there is no water in it !!!
That was Sunday ! Yesterday it was still very warm but muggy. No air. No sunshine either. Just this awful close heat. We had to go out during the afternoon and the temperature readout in my car said it was 32 degrees C outside! The sky was really blue the day before but yesterday it got quite grey by about 5pm. We did sit in the garden for an hour or so but it was touch and go with the rain. I took a picture of the grey sky which probably doesn't really look grey until you see the bottom picture of how the sky was the day before.
And today ... it has rained almost all day. The heatwave definitely went. We've had thunder and lightning too. Apparently some places locally have also had hail the size of pennies, but it looks like we managed to escape that. I hope those two days weren't our summer. We had two good days in April. Maybe that's it for summer this year - just two days a month. Oh well, I'll just look forward to the two summer days in July !!
