The Périgord is hot!

In the shade

The Périgord is hot these days. We had a high of 41 yesterday, 38 in the shade.

Fortunately, the humidity is low and the nights are still relatively cool, around 20 or below. Still, having had this opportunity to test the house's AC system, we are happy to report that it works very well.

Forecast calls for cooler temperatures by mid-week. Meanwhile, our neighbour's offer to use her swimming pool "anytime" is becoming extremely tempting.

Too bad I left my bathing suit at the cottage.
