mid summer heat

very hot again, even I am getting prickly with some sort of skin redness just from the heat, even when in the shade, but even in the shade it is more than 35C this last week, and we have two more days of same before a bit of cool - down all the way to 30C... Lois's neck coolers are fully employed, I keep them in the fridge and get them out when getting the heat bad - about every hour. We had lots of last minute guests, including the 11 Polish people. Anita wwoofer overlapped with Ellen, all diligent and nice people, helping tons. Kifli cannot take the heat, if this blog is a bit weird, it's cause of that. Alan is showing Black cat white cat to Ellen and two more Danish guest girls, one of whom insisted digging the steps out for us, doing a real good job. They help with the animals, wash dishes - the perfect hostel guests. Tomatoes, aubergines are doing well at the moment, carrots, beetroots, kohlrabies and marrows been processed, raspberries and as from today, figs are doing a good show, and Curry is in the freezer. I am off to my cataract of on Saturday, wish me luck, back with sister and Aunt Edith pictures that will be exhibited on the following weekend, the Kiskassa 5 days Festival of light starts on the 16th. There will be besides the art exhibition loads of programs, including bogrács and cake competitions, and another table tennis tournament - as everybody wants to beat me (the reigning champ) it will be difficult to chicken out, though I suppose, thinking about it, the eye op is a good enough excuse. We'll have some photos later.
