Today we had intended to go sightseeing in DC, but the forecast temperature of 28C made us decide to have a more local day so that we could retreat from the sun if we wanted to.
First stop was the Bargain Loft, where all the Easter items are now 50% off.
On to the Silver Diner for lunch. The plate that you can see in the foreground is their vegan speciality of roasted Brussels sprouts, tomatoes and lentils. It may not look great in a photo but it is very good!
Next stop, Trader Joe's where they had sprays of real and rather beautiful cherry blossom on sale, as well as arum lilies in some improbable colours, including black..
For me, with Easter coming up, the daffodils in bud were irresistible and two little bunches went into my basket.
It seemed incongruous to be displaying daffodils when the weather is so warm (the high today was in fact 31C in the end). But when I went to unwrap the daffodils, which had been very modestly priced, there was another surprise..
So there we are - English springtime and summer heat!
