Yesterday was, as predicted, scorchingly hot. It was 39,5°C at around 11.30am as we drove home from the market. Anyhow, as I keep on talking about, C, I thought I would introduce him:
Meet Cecil who sells fresh, seasonal fruits and vegetables that he sources direct from local farmers. Often they are gleanings. Always excellent value for money. Remember last year's tomato diaries? They were thanks to his procurement skills. I opened the last jar of canned tomatoes a week ago. Last year's supply lasted about that. Talk about good value. Even better, the flavour: they had none of the acidity of the commercial ones.
I digress, of course, because all I really want to do, is to share some photos of the sunset light and fiery sky.
Rambo and Pearli greeting me as I came home and was struck by the glory of our bougainvillea and how, at last, the grass is coming back. More planted on Friday.
This is the opposite view - from within the shadows...
Last evening's sunset glow. The temperature went well into the 40's Celsius.
It was still 29°C at 10.30pm.
A fiery sky was apt.
Until next time, be well
