Still hot!

Some mornings I wake up, listen to the news and then close my eyes and doze off again. The days when I’m expecting someone to arrive  I jump out of bed...my cleaner and gardener arrive fairly early on two days of the week.  I need to be dressed on those days...but when I’m not expecting company in the house I have to admit that it’s getting harder to leave the comfort of my duvet.
Sometimes the news wakes me up. Mr Trumps rascist comments  made in apparent ignorance that he was causing offence got my eyes open fast. I should not be surprised by anything he says by this time...we are all used to it now.
The weather forecasts at various times only become real when I open my curtains...and yes it is sunny out there again...I have started watering all the pots every evening now...trying to water the rest of the field containing lots of fruit trees would take hours of back breaking effort... I have taken some cherries off the trees whilst the apples and pears are still filling out nicely.
The raspberry canes do bear fruit and are very precious to me. They were the last gift from my son and I have made sure of their survival  by telling the gardener to leave them well alone.   They sit at the far end of the garden with some gooseberries.. so .every day just now I take a few precious fruits off to enjoy whilst I stroll.
Watering everything would take up far too much time but getting the actual water needs no effort thanks to David. He installed two very large containers which receive the water from the roof during our rainy days. I don’t take any water from the taps....and so far during this dry spell I have only used about a quarter of the stored liquid. One more thing to thank him for as  I fill my watering can.
I am enjoying this glorious weather.. but I remember the oppressive heat we got most summers  when I lived in Essex. Here a sea breeze is welcome most days...
So it’s time to get on with it...I have no plans at all for today...no callers are expected...no one is expecting me.....bliss!  And I will get out of bed  as soon as I’ve pressed the "publish" button.
