Yes, here it comes, maybe not as bad as the one in 2003 but it is certainly one of them. It's like a heat-storm. Days, nights of u7nusual heat that blasts up from the southwest over the Pyrenees from Spain and Morocco. Hot, dry and lasting. The weather yesterday was supposed to be "normal" with sun and no clouds, highs in the low 80's. "Supposed" is the key word. About 4pm it was 94 and rising. About 6pm it peaked at 98 degrees and stayed high long after the sun set with a warm wind from the southwest...canicule on the way! This morning I was up at 7 and it was already 75 degrees. Shit, shit, shit! Well we will hide inside today, drink lemonade with real ice cubes (later on that) and perhaps a few showers followed by naps under a fan and perhaps wet sheet effect by late today.
Yesterday was my bloody 69th birthday! How the hell did that happen?! I dunno but it did or has anyway. We bopped off to Bourges, shopped all over the place, had a nice, leisurely lunch at La Scala (Margarite Pizza w/anchovies...my favorite...Kelly won't touch it!) I was a happy Duck though. Then wandered back to Lignieres for a long afternoon nap, a bit of TV news and to bed reading and drifted off to sleep. Nice day!
It's 91 degrees now as I publish this...wish us cool days!
