今日は２３度くらいでしたが、それでもジムからすぐ近くのスーパーまで歩いた時は結構暑く感じました（ジムで歩いた後だったこともあると思いますが、とにかく日差しが強いです）。夕方にはずいぶん涼しく肌寒いくらいになったので、数日前に届いていたサルビア３つとアジュガ３つをお庭に植えて、薔薇の花の花殻を切ったり少しガーデニングをしました。明日の夜には雨になりそうです。
It was about 23C today but still felt quite hot when we walked from the gym to a supermarket near there (I guess partly because I had just walked an hour in the gym but also because the sun was really strong). By the evening it had got much cooler so we finally planted 3 salvias & 3 ajugas that were delivered a few days ago and did some deadheading of roses etc for a short time. It’s forecasted to rain by the night tomorrow, which is actually very welcome.
今日の夕食は、アスパラガスのタルトとサラダ。アスパラガスのシーズンに何度か作ったことがある、市販のパフベイストリーを使ったとても簡単なタルト。（レシピなど詳しくは以前書いた時にアップしてあります。）もう少しマスタードを塗った方が良かったです、マスタードの加減が難しい。アスパラガスは焼くと縮みますが、結構立派なアスパラガスでした。サラダは、いつものトマト、玉ねぎ、きゅうり、ロケット、サラダ菜類、レモン汁、オリーブオイル、塩胡椒のサラダとアスパラガスに合いそうな卵（ゆで卵のピクルス）と生ハムを添えました。こちらのパフペーストリーはかなり大きいので、３分の１ずつくらいをいただいて、残りの真ん中の３分の１は明日のランチにでもいただきます。
Today’s dinner was Asparagus Tart with a salad. I’ve made this asparagus tart a few times before, it’s a very easy one using store bought puff pastry. (I wrote more in details before including a link to the recipe.) I should have used a little more mustard, but I find it a bit difficult to judge the amount. Asparagus spears do shrink after being baked but these were quite thick beforehand. The salad is a very basic one of tomato, onion, cucumber, rocket, salad leaves, lemon juice, olive oil, salt & pepper and I added egg (pickled boiled egg) and Parma Ham as well as I thought they would go well with asparagus. It was quite a large tart so we had 1/3 each so 1/3 is left for tomorrow.
