My sister just came home on hospice. Our mother and I are taking turns caring for her. I have 5 wonderful friends from my youth... they are like sisters to me and are such a great support!<br />I think of you and all the changes in your life over these past few months and wish I were close enough to have you over for tea.

Fortunately, I manage to keep my flat at a pleasant temperature most of the time, unless we have over 30 Celsius for weeks on end, with it not cooling down over night. But even then, instead of complaining, I rather say "Hey, it is summer, after all!" and am happier about that than about wet and cold summers as we have sometimes had them in the past.<br />It is the right season for ice creams and lovely cold drinks in the evening!

I guess it must be difficult to be alone if you're the kind of person that needs other people's company, I live on my own and thoroughly enjoy it.

I go out for my early morning (just at dawn) run or walk and then stay in the shade for the rest of the day. My only complaint is the biting doctor flies (aka yellow flies) that are fierce right now and ambush you as soon as you step outside. Fortunately they are late risers and so I don't encounter them at dawn. Lunch with friends on Sundays sounds delightful.Wilmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14717012784233946753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-16590560674059338072017-06-18T15:46:13.907-07:002017-06-18T15:46:13.907-07:00Hot here too, but not as bad as angry parsnip.
