A little cooler today to start with but temperature starting to rise still becoming sunny.🌞 23°
After a coffee or two and some health biscuits I feel ready to start the day. I read a few pages from my detective story in french 📖 "Maigret et les petits cochons sans queue" par Simenon. 🐖🐖🐖 it seems like a good start to the story. I think I might like this book.

 🌞  👒After a quick tidy up I set off with a brisk walk to Sainsbury's supermarket. When I set off it was nice and cool but coming back it was horribly hot! I felt so poorly walking back home with my bags of shopping. I should really have taken the supermarket trolley and just  thrown all the shopping bags in. Jolly good job I only live 5 minutes away!
      28°              🥵
When I arrived home I drank a large ice cool glass of orange flavoured spring water straight from the fridge!
      30°
When I had rested enough, it was time to go to collect the organic vegetables , from the vege lady on the edge of the village. This time I had some help from my hubby to carry the bags for me!
                         🛍🛍
We managed to find what we needed including carrots, new potatoes, broccoli, Kale and leeks.
I also bought tomatoes for my salad at a reasonable price from her. She even threw in a free bag of carrots and some beetroots! What a lovely lady!

 31°

Then the long walk back of 25 minutes in this fierce heat.
We then stopped to rest in the park under the big trees which was really nice!

 30°
After this we sat for a few moments in the peaceful cemetery, a great place for contemplating life and death! We drank a coke to cool down. It was very peaceful, with butterflies and birds who were singing, there were wood pidgeons, wagtails, sparrows, crows, magpies and  even a couple of ducks from the nearby pond! 
32°              🕊🦅🐦🦆
Some little  sparrows were taking a mud bath, throwing dry mud all over themselves!
We had to laugh because we had never seen that happen before it just looked really funny!
 28°
We got up and continued on our way ,  taking the quiet route back, through the little streets, that leads to our road at the back of the church.
We arrived at last at our little house,  then I suddenly stopped half way up the path " O no! I have forgotten the ice-cream!" 🍦🍦
Yet another walk out, but back through the village this time, to the other supermarket!

Phew !  I feel exhausted !
