My forecast says that, in about an hour, it will be 35 degrees C but it will feel like 41!
In fact, I suspect it is more since, this morning, on our way to Pietrasanta to meet Lola and G, many of the displays outside chemists were already suggesting it to be 34 degrees.
For certain, it is VERY hot but, whichever way you look at it, it’s much, much better than being cold – well, unless you are F, of course.
I have forced the dogs to come outside in the garden. They weren’t keen to leave the house – which is the first time I can remember. But it is equally cool (or, rather, slightly less hot) at the back of the house, which remains in shade all day. There is the chance of a small breeze outside, from time to time.
And it is peaceful.
And, I am British, so outside when the weather is nice is a “must” – which, to be honest, is not Italian.
We had a nice (though smallish) lunch in Pietrasanta with Lola and G and the dogs.
Lola is getting a new dog tomorrow so is very excited. And, in September/October, we shall go to their place so the puppies can play in their garden – which will be lovely. I would tell you the type of dog but can’t as I have been sworn to secrecy by G. However, it’s a fantastic dog and I think Lola will be very happy even if it’s not going to be like Duick.
Now I am alone with the dogs whilst F goes to get his hair cut.
It’s perfect weather for a nice glass of cold wine or beer so, once I’ve posted that, I think I will be drinking just that.
Enjoy your weekend.
I know the type of dog now!
Irish Setter, yuppie! I am super excited and probably won’t sleep tonight.
We go to get him at 11:30 so you’ll receive a picture around noon, I guess.
The heat here is unbearable, like Pietrasanta. Luckily we have air conditioning so Orlando (G. is here and tells me to write you that he prefers Rosso but I don’t so… the mamma wins -as usual- and he is going to be Orlando) will be fine.
We can’t wait to see all the dogs playing in the garden
Buona notte e grazie ancora per oggi
Lola and G.
Yes, I love Irish Setters and I’m sure he will be lovely.
I hate to be in disagreement with G but I think Orlando is better, as does F. However, I can see G’s point.
Me to (running in the garden) and it will be great to see you both again with your wonderful Orlando
Thanks for stopping off to see us today. We had a lovely time.
Goodnight to you too and enjoy your first day with Orlando!
HI ANDY glad for you that the weather is to your liking.
I saw the picture of Lola’s new puppy – he is beautiful. I am quite busy packing and preparing for the estate sale – overwhelming. Also scheduling times to get things done in some type of order. It is a whirlwind of very emotion.
Love Gail
peace…..
Hi Gail, thanks for dropping by.
Yes, I can imagine you’re busy. I saw the medals but because (from the phone) I couldn’t comment on Lola’s blog, I thought I wouldn’t be able to on yours. Maybe I shall try tomorrow.
I can imagine that it’s difficult and pleasurable (at time) and tiring and very emotional.
My thoughts are with you.
Yes, Orlando looks lovely. Soon we shall take Piero to meet him and they can play in the garden
