Uta’s Diary, February 2017

Today starts a new month, the month of February. Last weekend Caroline and Matthew came to see us. It was a very hot weekend. The outside temperature went to nearly 40C at times. On Monday, the 30th, we even had an outside temperature of 42C. Amazingly we could keep the inside temperature at 32C, even though we do not have any air-conditioning.

The last few days in January I still took some more pictures which I insert here now.

Last weekend Peter baked a beautiful cake with almond meal, a lot of eggs and a very tasty filling made with custard, butter and blackcurrant jam.

Caroline and Matthew loved this cake!
