01. Beach and reading intensive. I’m basically doing a book per day and the weather has been GLORIOUS.
02. Things I continue to love: nail polish in neon pastels (especially this blue and this coral); sitting on the beach watching the marine traffic go by; Millers Bread Kitchen.
03. New things I love: Papa Salt gin Palomas, my cabana (I caved because I couldn’t carry enough umbrellas to shade all the kids and friends); Naked Sundays SPF 50+ mist, this bath soak.
04. Two new cookbooks – Classic German Cooking by Luisa Weiss (her baking book is essential, even though I’m not really a baker) and Pass the Plate by Carolina Gelen (her pickle latkes convinced me I needed more of her magic).

05. Watching: The L Word (Stan) – loads of references to it in a book I just finished (Perfume and Pain by Anna Dorn, which I loved).
06. Thunderstorms at the beach.

Thank you for some vicarious sunshine! We’ve had blue skies this week which were very welcome but its soooo cold!
We have had an amazing two-week stretch of hot weather, with more on the way. I’m not complaining – I love the heat.
A book per day? And sunshine too? Not fair. Minus 2 here:)
Although I’d happily do a book-per-day in minus 2, my preference is always for sunshine!
