Olive Tree Cafe

 

My sister-and-law and I went out to lunch together today and then had a lovely afternoon back at her place, chatting about the world and making everything as it should be (according to us!).

We went to The Olive Tree Café, a busy little place with a constant stream of customers.  Most of the food is gluten-free, which perhaps explains why my Savoury Muffin was so crumbly (but still delicious).

I had a little Orange Almond Cake afterwards, which I didn’t need, and an Iced Chocolate to drink (which I also didn’t need!), but it was all very enjoyable.




Our weather continues to be hot in the afternoons and the long-term forecast is we can expect it to remain like this for a few more weeks yet.  At least most nights are a little cooler, though, and it is possible to sleep a bit better.

I found some online jigsaw puzzles at jigsawplanet.com and have been having fun doing some of them. 

Did you know that jigsaw puzzles help to keep your mind active and lowers the chance of you developing dementia? 

Yay for jigsaw puzzles 😊

Margaret.

The Royal Variety Show

 

Last night I settled down in a comfy chair and watched The Royal Variety Show on TV. 




There is always royalty present at this Show, and this time it was the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge in attendance.




There were stand-up comics a-plenty (I’m not usually that keen on them, but some were funny enough to make me laugh), as well as music and other different acts.








The show ended with Ed Sheeran singing a Christmas song that he had jointly composed with his friend Sir Elton John.




It was a relaxing way to end a hot day.  Officially our temperature reached 29 degrees Celsius, but our gauge registered a high of 31 (that is about 88 Fahrenheit).

It may not sound too hot for those who live in warmer climes, but it is much hotter than we are used to and I simply melt in the heat.

The next few days are forecast to be even hotter, so I am figuring it is a good time to say I am on holiday and not attempt to do too much!!

Be happy 😊

Margaret.
