As I was sat in bed drinking my mug of tea and reading Sharon’s post I decided I would join in the fun, for the first time,
My drink is lemonade, it's a strange orangy red, which was quite a surprise when I opened it yesterday expecting clear liquid, I’ve added sparkling water as I found it quite strong, it’s very tasty, of course this morning I decided to read the label, it often helps I find, LOL, well guess what, apparently it’s strawberry lemonade, well that accounts for the strange colour although it does look very much like the juice we get when we squeeze our Pink Grapefruits, you can see the tree in the BG, the fruits get so big it actually bends the branches to the ground.
After missing our early morning walk we have just been out for a quick lunch to save cooking tonight, I spent the morning trying to keep cool in the conservatory while the engineer fitted the new air conditioning unit, it was 30.5c in there at 11am with all the windows open, we are hoping for a lovely cool bedroom tonight, after ten awful nights without it, I think it might be an early night just to enjoy being cool.
Off for a swim, enjoy your day.

welcome to T Day- glad to have you join this lovely gathering! Hope you finally enjoy a cooler space after all the heat and no respite. Happy T day!
ReplyDeleteYour drink sounds very refreshing - enjoy! Nice to see you at T Day! Hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the T-party, Jan. How nice to have another member in Spain. We almost span the globe, with T-ladies from Germany, the UK, Spain, US and Mexico (me).
ReplyDeleteHappy T-day! Eileen
Welcome to the T Party so glad you joined in.
ReplyDeleteYour strawberry lemonade sounds delicious We are really hot and very humid here in Missouri usa as well temps going up to close to 100 f by end of week-I am tired of this extreme heat already as we have had it since mid May
Happy T Day Hugs Kathy
So glad you joined us Jan. WE are delighted to see you, although I know you from WOYWW. I saw Helen's Kew photos and asked her if she went home and put her feet up in air conditioned happiness. She just laughed and said most people who live in the UK don't have AC because it seldom gets that hot. I fear this summer is one for the record books, so I'm glad you are getting AC in your home in Spain.
ReplyDeleteI had to laugh at your comment about reading the label. You have no idea how often I've been surprised by something simply because I didn't read the label properly. It looks quite good and refreshing, though. I really hope you will join us again, because I would love to see you more than once a week.
Thank you beyond belief for sharing your lemonade with us for T this Tuesday. We loved being invited into your home.
Welcome welcome Jan!!! Strawberry Lemonade over ice sounds good.. I might even pour some Mountain Dew soda over it to lighten it up... We usually run the aircond...during the day and turn it off at night.. We would be more comfortable with it on but can't afford the bill..lol We have had some extremely warm nights that we've left it on.. Enjoy your new coolness... You'll probably sleep like a baby ... I hope you'll continue to join the party!! Happy T day! Hugs! deb
ReplyDeleteI love lemonade and strawberry lemonade both, and it's perfect in this heat. Picking your own grapefruit must be like heaven! Sleeping without air conditioning when it's so hot is miserable, I know, so I'm happy for your new cooling :) Welcome to the tea party :) Happy T Tuesday
ReplyDeleteWelcome, welcome, Jan! I am so glad I inspired you to join the T Gang! What fun! Your drink sounds heavenly! Hopping you are all cool by now! I know it has been a rough , warm, couple of weeks waiting for your A/C. Happy T Day! Thanks for sharing with us.

Your drink sounds very refreshing and I love the view with the terracotta roof in the background. Very picturesque.

Hi Jan, welcome and it's so nice to meet you at T Stands for Tuesday! Your drink looks so refreshing, I think I would be surprised to find strawberries in lemonade too ...lol 😉. How wonderful that you make your own fresh grapefruit juice from grapefruit that you pick from your trees, I bet it tastes delicious! Wishing you a very Happy T Day! J 😊 x
