Still Hot

   Very hot today - if the pool had still been open I would definitely have had a swim! As it was, it was too hot to work in the garden so I had to content myself with watching the Laver Cup, named after Rod Laver the Australian tennis player. Team Europe (my favourite) won although in the last match I was rooting for the Canadian who was part of Team World.

   Did a bit of baking this afternoon despite the heat. The recipe is for Apple Oat Bread but I used pears instead. The house has stayed quite cool and I will open windows tonight to keep it that way. My outside thermometer said 35C this afternoon! 

Using up some out-of-date sour cream and two pears from a tennis friend's garden. It turned out well and will taste good with lashings of butter!
