Warm weather ahoy?!

I woke up this morning dreaming of what seemed to be a cross between an American and a Spanish ice cream/helado shop!  There were a bazillion flavours on offer (like America) but with really glossy-looking choices - like some of the Spanish helado I remember.  I was buying two scoops - duh! 

I think I even made up my own flavour in the dream - meaning it was one on offer that I bought, but I have never seen that combination in an ice cream before.  Time to contact Ben & Jerry? 

Steve said it must be an effect the glorious Mediterranean-style weather we are having is having on me.  I will be so sad when it cools down. 

My aches & pains - gone!  My blues - gone!  PMS - all but non-existent.  I am a happy happy girl.  Damn I wish he could work his job somewhere year-round nicer than here - like southern Florida or southern Spain. 

I love it too!

I'm not from as far south as Florida, but New York City does have pretty hot summers, and it gets much hotter in New York than it has been here lately.

DH and I were at the pub with a friend last night and the friend was complaining how hot and oppressive was.  I loved being able to say. "Hot? This isn't hot. This is comfortable."

It was also the first night I can remember where I was at the pub and didn't have to keep my jacket or coat on all night or spend the whole night hunched over with my arms around my chest trying to keep warm, when all the other women around me are wearing skimpy little outfits and seem perfectly comfortable.

DH even made a comment about how I look much better when I've had some sun.

Steve saw on the news somewhere this morning - that yesterday, it was hotter in Manchester than it was in NYC!  How did we get so lucky?! 

I feel another BBQ coming on tonight! 

Today, might have to break out my abanico de Sevillano that I bought last October with a weekend much like this one in mind... (wishful thinking, I know! but sometimes you get lucky )

Tank top, shorts and sandals here today in York!  And I'm not cold!  And it's fabulous!!  Did I mention that?  I feel the need for ice cream!

I am having SO much fun today! Sprang out of bed at like 7am, wandered around the flat picking things up and then went for a Sunday drive (with the side mission of checking out a new place to horseback ride!). It is so GORGEOUS today. Birds twittering, lovely smells, and all. Love it. Of course, DH had to go to Ohio this week, so he's missing it all!

Oh no! He will think you made it all up! 

Oh no! He will think you made it all up! 

Ha! It was raining when he landed as well.  I'm sure I've been no help, what with my "come back quick! You're missing summer!" texts. 

I have to confess that - even though it's a bit mean - I'm kind of enjoying the way that British people are having trouble coping while I'm feeling great. This is after spending 5+ years in the UK in which I have often been cold while everyone around me is walking around half-dressed and feeling comfortable.

Today, I went to lunch with DH, MIL and my little nephew. I was the only one who ordered a sandwich.  Everyone else had hot, heavy food. My nephew ordered chicken nuggets, but was just picking at the chips that came with them and wouldn't eat the nuggets. So MIL was pushing him to eat everything on his plate. - You do not try to force down meat in warm weather. MIL didn't have a clue.

Later, MIL and DH were sitting in our back garden. They had to sit in a shady spot and were too tired to move.

Earlier, I had done an hour of aerobics in the garden.

Nyaah nyaah nyahh.

Do you dress for riding British Style clothes or Western Style clothes? JW.

I ride English--the place I was looking at was holding a little show, it was awesome!

27.5 here today...jumped in the pool for awhile and had a nice big, light salad for tea...I'm roasting but it is nice for a change...more excuse to stock the freezer with ice cream.

Bye bye, summer! 

Bye bye, summer! 

Nooooooooooooooooooooooo I am holding out till Tuesday, they said Tuesday!

It's already 25C here.  I thought it was going to be nice and cool.
