and so the day ends,

sitting outside listening to the birds quieten and watching the first stars come out. Citronella candle a must - there are a lot of mosquitos around this year!
Extremely hot day, mid-thirties, no wind. We were ten for tennis; it was hard work. Rewarded with a nice cool swim afterwards. Spent the rest of the afternoon in a kind of heat-inertia, and out to Italian restaurant for dinner.
