... since it was 36C. Officially. I suspect it was hotter here. I mostly sat around, read and tried not to dissolve into a puddle of sweat. Blech.
The change came through around midnight and it was wonderful. The rest of the week is supposed to be ... not too bad. Not thinking about the weekend.
And since it was cooler tonight and we had appetites again, I cooked spaghetti with artichoke hearts, baby spinach, lemon, parsley and capers. I hadn't tried marinated artichoke hearts before (they really don't look very appealing.) They're ... quite okay? I don't know, the pasta was nice and Mum really liked it but I found the combination of flavours to be a bit too sharp towards the end.
I just made another double batch of lemon curd and now I'm going to make a chocolate and vanilla angel food cake with all the egg whites. Flora's coming by tomorrow afternoon so this will work for afternoon tea.

On a completely different note, I watched explicit (gay) porn for the first time yesterday (living with ones mother does tend to make certain things awkward) and apart from thinking that film is more appealing than stills, I was mostly thinking 'bodies are weird.' I don't think I'm really a visual person. Or possibly I've been spoiled by fic.
