We have lots of visitors arriving from England this summer, so today we cleaned the patio table and chairs in anticipation using our smart yellow Kärcher jet spray cleaner thingy. I've always wanted to have a jet spray cleaner thingy, and after M. Sarkozy's sales pitch last autumn it just had to be a Kärcher. How satisfying to see all the blackness being swept away and the gleaming white emerging from underneath (though I'm sure that's not what M. Sarkozy was thinking of).
The canicule is over but it's still hot. I am reading Ian McEwan's Atonement at the moment which is also set in a summer heatwave. Too stifling. Maybe next I should read Tintin in the Antarctic for a bit of balance.
