Soul mate.

As they should be!
Fig rolls, à la moonrabbit!

It should really be 'les', but that doesn't work as well! ‍️

g'day! how it goes? are you lamenting it being a no-café day?

fig biscuits are yes like fig rolls but with my unique requirements

I would very happily send blackberries, but they might be a bit mushy by the time they get to you!

That cake sounds delish!
And fig biscuits too?!
Like fig rolls, or different?

Swimming sounds really good - and cooling... So I'm hoping new spot is up to it!

alas, just a small cake. but i have heard a rumour of fig biscuits?? (cake is apple and cinnamon with crumble topping)

re the river, not sure! we'd be trying somewhere new ... hopefully we shall see this week. and maybe swim!

i'll send you some cake if you send me some blackberries

Crumble, more than likely - and one of the neighbours has rhubarb too...
Plus blackberries and ice cream/yogurt every night!

The river is a really good idea - is there a shady spot to be, with toes in the water?

I hope husband made a huge cake to last all week, then?!
What flavour are we having this time?

oooh, jammmm. and blackberry and apple crumble? i hope we get some this year and that the brambles don't all die

i'm already not great and this is the coolest day for the next 10, sigh. not sure about relief: hopefully we'll get to the river some morning at least. and maybe an a/c at some point, if they ever comes back in stock?? (probably january)

we do have cake though: husband used the "this is your last chance to put the oven on for at least a week" last night to make one

Yes, indeed!
These were just the non fruiting straggly bits.
Based on the number of flowers on the rest, we're going to have a serious crop of blackberries...
More jam, then!

How are you doing - are you managing some relief from the excesses of heat?

ah lovely. i hope you left some brambles for blackberries though??

we're about to make a small wooden toy boat ...

High 30s and more is just *too much*
Far too much!
Yuk - but you know this only too well...

A good day here - met a friend for coffee earlier, which was lovely, and now we're sitting in the sun!
I was just doing a little work in the garden, but only trimming some straggly brambles - or they'd be attacking me when cutting the grass, today, tomorrow, sometime!

It's looking like Cork is going to be getting the 'best' of the current warm weather here.

Anyway, have a Sunday 🫂!

you deserve medals, honestly. or more ice cream ...

35 today, then 37, then 39 and on it goes. i don't know what to do. try to survive, i guess.

enjoy the temps you've got while you've got them. you'll be here when we're at 55

on a brighter note, i hope your sunday's lovely!

I know! But like the brave things we are, we managed to force it down...

I'm sure you're really (not) looking forward to the impending horrendousness 🫂

It'll be a measly 25°C ish here - or bliss, as you'd call it!

ooooh! but you poor things, being experimented on like that *shakes head sadly* such a burden for you to eat all of

it's hot but not horrendous yet. that's in the days to come, hooray! sigh.

I'm good, thanks.
The café were experimenting on us with brown bread ice cream earlier - it was fab!

How are you doing?
Is it unbearable there yet? (and only looking like *more*, I'm guessing...)

for him, yes, but if i tried it, i doubt he'd be best pleased

how's you today lovely?

An entirely reasonable thing to do!
