Photo diary: Project 385, week 28

American history of the XXC is one of Eddie's subjects for the next year's GCSEs. The Prohibition is one of the topics they cover. We decided to watch The Untouchables together. I've seen it many years ago. It's still good, and Kevin Costner is a poppet, he looks so young in this film.

We ordered Domino's and enjoyed the film.

I love seeing flowers in the garden and in town.

A few days earlier I had an email from Ocado that my Ocadoversary was coming soon, and I could spend a tenner on chocolates or wine. Gavi was on offer, and I got a bottle basically for a pound. I will squirrel it until our trip to Cornwall later this summer, so that we can enjoy it in "our" cottage one evening.

Another scorching week, and I have to water all potted plants every evening and top up the water baths for birds. The blackberries are still either in bloom, or green, though I have seen ripe berries on the hedges in town.

Not sure what this insect is, but it has "alien" eyes.

One of the sketches I did in the last week for Penandinkchallene, with a warm cup of coffee prompt. This is a super quick selfie with a cup of coffee. To be fair, even coffee doesn't help much in this weather. I don't sleep well, when it's so hot, and crawl around the house like a zombie.

Picked up this huge fig in the garden, it was very sweet. This is the first ripe fig of the season. I can see more on the tree, but they are still quite green.

When I see a bright flower, I say to myself "and a splash of colour" in Rabbit's voice, from Many adventures of Winnie the Pooh, when he tries to decorate the stuck Pooh's backside.

In this weather we tend to eat tapas-style food, with salads, fresh fruit, cheese, olives etc. On Saturday I did make an effort and cooked a shakshuka, with aubergines, sweet pepper, olives, tomato sauce and eggs. 

Hope you're doing well, against the heat wave.
