Les Scenes du Week-end {20}

It was very hot here this weekend.

Très très chaud.

 The temperature rarely went below 30 degrees C, even at night.

Ugh.

I'm not a fan of such weather.

I know I should be enjoying these last few weeks of real summer,

but it's hard for me to not be cranky

when I'm feeling sweaty,

droopy 

&

generally

just too hot.

I've been missing Brittany & its cool ocean

& dreaming of crisp autumn weather.

But you know what?

I really shouldn't complain.

You see, I live in a beautiful part of the world,

with lots of lovely places to swim nearby.

So this weekend was all about the water 

{the lake on Saturday, the river on Sunday}

 +

the shade

+ 

my new best friend, the Evian water spritzer!

home-made peach crisp

my addiction

I think whoever owns this rowboat needs to lend it to me

perfect lake-side reading material {thanks, Erin!}

check out my new sunglasses... or the peoples' legs behind me!

thank goodness sandwiches don't require cooking

Annecy's most famous restaurant/tour boat

the last of the tomatoes from our balcony garden {it was even too hot for them!}

down by the river

nerdy clock showing the temperature in our kitchen... at bedtime

It's supposed to continue to be hot most of this week.

I have one more week of vacation, so

until it decides to be less than 30 degrees, 

my plans look something like this:

In the morning, 

standard-transmission driving lessons at the auto-école {eek!!}

Lunch of cold stuff, eaten in front of the fan.

Afternoon at the lake, in the shade with my book.

Evening on our balcony.

Oh & doing laundry & a little packing before next weekend,

when we will attend a friends' wedding

far from Annecy.

I'd love to tell you they're getting hitched

in Iceland or Denmark or Scotland.

Unfortunately that would be a lie.

You know where they're getting married?

In Spain.

Oh woe is me.
