Summer's coming!

Last week I was writing about Spring....and suddenly Summer seems to have arrived! Yesterday it was 30 degrees in the shade, with not a hint of breeze until late in the day, while today it felt slightly cooler ....due mostly to the breeze that was missing yesterday!


I know it's really hot when I have to resort to wearing this:



Yes, it's sarong time! I have a variety of these that I wear round the house and garden( it's a bit like wearing your nightie all day, actually) and only wear real clothes if I'm going out or if I have 'company'. 

I even thought about going in the pool, but on checking, this was as far as I got


It  was beautifully cool on the feet...but the Winter chill isn't off it yet and there were no other bodyparts being submerged today!

Instead, I scrapped a little- making a LO for the ongoing 'A-Z of ME' challenge over at Scrapbook Challenges. The challenge for the letter 'K'  was to make a layout about your relationship with your kitchen, WITHOUT using any photos.




 I had struggled with this LO, but after reading  Stacey's post earlier today, about much the same  subject, inspiration set in- so thanks Stacey!

Thanks for dropping by!
Take care of you

  5. Congrats on getting that layout done & dusted!! Challenges are great for forcing us out of our comfort zones! I love my granite worktops - they are black & shine up fine with a damp cloth! I so agree on the cooking - bleh...
