The only photo I took today! As it was hot and sunny, we decided lunch by the river followed by swimming was a good plan. S went shopping, we pootled around getting ready, then I had a twinge of conscience about whether it would be legal/responsible to light a barbecue by the river. S decided we could cook the sausage here, then whiz off to the river while it was still warm. So he lit the barbie outside while I got the rest prepared. 

Result, by the time the barbie was hot and the sausage cooked, we didn't set off till 2 pm. And then had to turn back two minutes later as I'd left the bottle of tinto de verano in the fridge. As I left the house with it, it started to rain. Oh. Plan B: to the garden, huddle under the shelter of the bay tree to eat our sausage and salad. But actually the downpour was short-lived. So we spent the rest of the afternoon reading and dozing in steamy heat on the pallet sunloungers.

Back home just after six, and half an hour later the heavens opened with a real downpour and a constant rumble of thunder. No bad thing given how hot and dry it's been.
