kittiwakeMaybe this heat wave isn't all bad.
Yesterday afternoon I was in a meeting that went on just too late for me to catch the free company bus. So I walked round the corner to the bus stop to wait for the next bus back to the city centre. I sat in heat of the late afternoon, shaded by the bus shelter, with my back to the grey bulk of the cigarette factory. Across the road was a bank ofweeds wild flowers, with Cabbage White flutterbies flitting between them, and beyond the bank the playing fields and scrub land leading down to the river. Not a bad place to wait, not bad at all.
I picked up a homemade ice-lolly kit at Whittards today. It was reduced from £4 to £2 in the sale and consists of a stand with moulds for making four ice-lollies. We has a similar one when I was little, and I have always liked lollies, so there are now two cranberry and raspberry lollies and two pineapple and lime lollies freezing in my icebox. One thing I have always wondered is why you seem to suck the colour & flavour out of homemade lollies, leaving plain ice, but this doesn't happen with shop-bought lollies?
My Weather Pixie has changed into a summery pale yellow outfit for this afternoon's 33C weather.
I think I'll go and see whether my ice-lollies are frozen yet.
