I'm back home and it's 7:20 pm. The sun went behind the hills about an hour ago but in my kitchen, basically the coolest room in my house, it's 35°C.
My skin is leaking profusely and I need a shower but all the hotels around me are pretty much full and the water pressure/volume is down to little more than a trickle.
I like the heat (it's far more preferable to cold) but it's taking the piss now. It was well over 40°C today and the next two days are going to be the same or hotter.

Sea, pool or shower are all available options but you don't get much done when you use them. Today I've been sorting out all my astro gear because it was dusty up on the mountain, done some ironing and sorted out M's downstairs loo. I also managed to have a beer with friends that are heading back to UK in the early hours of the morning. I'm not on holiday yanno!

Just back from helping run a first aid (defib & CPR) session for a WI group.
24 womens and me in the room. Had to cover my ears when they were discussing the effects of age and gravity on female anatomy

Driven to Stansted. Again.
Got chucked off the motorway twice on some convoluted diversion. Again.
Seen what looks like two convoluted diversions on the way back.
Currently waiting for in-laws in a crowded arrivals Hall, seeing their flight is landing nearly an hour late.
I'm tired and longing for my bed.

At ghe. Brightlingsea regatta which is pretty much closed down by the weather! Such a shame as a lot of effort has been put into organising it! Managed a nice lunch by the marina though and currently cosied up looking at this!

Feeling a bit blathered.
Dog is ill so Pen dropped us in town about 6 on her way to an arts festival.
She was late picking us, about 10:00
Then her nephew arrived and bought me a beer
The square in town is the happiest place in the world I can imagine.
Now she's singing and playing the piano while I talk shite on here

Apparently Sebastian Vettel and his family are dining in my local, the landlord is a proper petrol head and his FB post was hilarious.

I hope it was better than Vettel's vittles.

Nursing another banging headache, looking out the window at more heavy rain. It feels like November here at the minute, and has done for weeks on end.

41degrees forecast today. It's usually a few degrees warmer at my house than the village so I'm expecting 45 this afternoon, it's already 30.
