The Med

Because of the heat and humidity, the cats are lazing around in even more of a lacklustre fashion than cats typically would. One cannot blame them.

Michelle visited again for half the working day, and it was joyous to have her company. She doesn’t have a fridge on the boat she moved into over the summer, so as on Monday I loaded up for lunch with fridge-based products. Houmous, juice and cheese are exciting items to Michelle. And I hardly have to be asked twice to load up on picnic foods.

In the evening I strolled in the meadows. The weather felt very humid and warm, which was great. But I did the only thing a sensible person could do in the circumstances. Buy a box of Soleros. And eat most of them.

These bovids were very interested in me whilst I was sprawled in the grass, which is a dicey activity at the best of times due to the sheer volume of bull, swan, duck and goose excrement in this meadow.
