sunny tuesday

It’s that time of year when we (hopefully) get enough rain throughout the winter months to see us through the long hot dry spell that is May to October in Sevilla. Trust me, drought summers here are not fun. But this makes going out even trickier (for me) at the moment as I am still limiting myself to once or twice a week and so NOW those days also have to fall on a non-rainy one. But this day was perfect. Lovely and sunny and still warm enough midday to only need a light jacket and the oranges are reaching their peak. Love Sevilla ❤

So of course l picked the hottest day of the year to start wearing latex gloves. I actually bought a box of them when I was out early last week and then temps got up to 38º (and probably more in the city centre) over the weekend. Yes, it was fucking hot. But I really had to take out the rubbish so thought it would I should try out the gloves. Single use, about 35 cents a pair, lightly powdered inside so relatively easy to put on. Have to admit that I did feel a bit “safer” with them on, but yeah, hands got pretty sweaty. Though not as bad as wearing the plastic bags at El Corte Inglés supermarket. Hello new normal.
