Wavering Heat

I have been extremely lazy this week, the weather in Cornwall at the moment is currently reminiscent of Greece and it is baking when your out of the sea breeze,the light has that quality where it leaches the colour out of everything making the whole world seem slightly ethereal and distant, like a faded photograph. I don't know how the tomato plants (which are only about 2 foot high) can stand it in the hottest of the green houses, it was at least 40'C in there today, even with all the windows and the door wide open. we could really do with some rain right now, the water barrel (my way of measuring rainfall) is half empty and the soil is so dry its like its been cooked. thankfully most of the plants are either big enough to cope, or are verities I've selected for resistance to our local climate (Cherokee trail of tears french beans rock, they cope with droughts really well). I really want to get on with dying, I've finally managed to buy, scrounge and generally collect all the kit, now all i need is a decent opportunity and I'm going to have a crack at it. more on this, hopefully,  soon.
