気温は20度とこの数日変わらないのですが今日は太陽が出ていて気持ち良いお天気、久しぶりに夫もお庭に座って本を読んでいます。近所で大掛かりな工事が行われていて、結構音がうるさいのが残念。工事、いつまで続くのかな〜。この小さな村に大きな集合住宅が出来るらしいです、しかもうちのすぐ裏。かなりな戸数らしいので新しくお店や医院などが出来て便利になるかもしれず良いこともあると思いますが、車の渋滞など心配もありますね。
The temperature hasn’t changed much in the last few days, 20C during the day, but it’s nice and sunny today and feels nicer. My husband is enjoying sitting in the garden reading, he hasn’t done that for quite a while. Unfortunately, there has been a major construction going on almost right behind us. Apparently a large scale housing complex is being built in this little village. I guess there will be some benefits like new shopping places and maybe a doctor or/and a dentist etc, but I also guess there will be more traffic.
ブルーの紫陽花、3本はダメになりましたがまだ2本は元気です。
Three of the blue hydrangeas had gone but two are still looking great.
おもてなしのときは、どうしてもたくさん作りすぎてしまいます。足りないより余る方が安心。中近東料理は数日美味しくいただけますし、夫もわたしも好きなので余っても大丈夫。ということで、今日のランチは昨日の残り物。昨日、少し薄味だったのでちょっとお塩を足したせいか、味が馴染んだせいか、昨日より美味しくなっていました。
When we have friends for a meal, I always cook much too much, I feel better when there is too much food than too little for our guests. Middle-Eastern food keeps and doesn’t seem to deteriorate in taste for a few days, so no problem that we had quite a lot of left-over yesterday – we enjoyed it for lunch today. I thought I didn’t season it quite enough yesterday so added tiny bit of salt and it tasted better, I find this sort of food tastes better next day anyway.
