Sunny Saturday

The heatwave rages on here on mainland Europe & with temps consistently approaching 40°C as the day goes on my desire to don breeches & leather boots is non existent. However a polo tournament helped me get my horsey fix today - as well as visiting my girls at lunchtime to swap them to the shady field and then again in the evening to, swap them back, douse them in fly spray + fill & hang the haynets.
The humidity is something else and particularly affecting Kika who is sweatier in the evenings than when I saw her at lunchtime, arguably the hottest time of the day under normal circumstances.
Oh Wells,  not much more I can do for them at the moment :-(
On to the couple of photos from the polo this afternoon...







I'll try any shade to keep from getting burnt
& yes I do wear suncream incessantly 


Barefoot farrier is coming tomorrow and we are due some thunderstorms so hopefully the temps come back down to be more manageable for pale old me & I can swing some strolls in the woods with my girls!

      What a pity, it's not on so often here so even though it was boiling i wanted to go along for a gawk.
      One of my dream bucket list goals is to go back to Argentina & learn Polo for a week or two *blush*

      I have never played but was so close to going for a lesson when I was in Argentina a few years back - sadly we couldn't quite get it organised so now I'm just going to *have* to go back ;-p

      I really shouldn't be complaining considering the temps in so many other places - but it IS so out of character for this neck of the woods that we are completely inequipped to cope. Poor ponehs - cos at least my office building has air conditioning...their field less so :-(
