Went for a short 15 mile spin on the MTB after lunch, stopped off at the pub for a pint of Farmers Blonde to top up essential fluid levels. Got home and jumped it the new stupid large paddling pool I got this morning and topped up fluids with some of Aldi's finest lagers with some tunes on in the garden.
Need to think about dinner now.
Spitting with rain in East Lance, warm though. Took the lad out for a hilly 6 mile ride in the mid day sun, then spent the rest of the afternoon repairing a puncture I'd picked up and sorting out the oil in the forks as it was all in the lower again.
Crazy golf in 28c and then watched some cricket, yesterday was an 8 mile round walk to the tea rooms.
Sweaty morning around Comrie, but lush thunderstorms and rain now...
So I don't know how official "official" has to be, but on a proper thermometer kept in the shade, it's been 32.5 degrees celcius today in my garden. And genuinely, at the time when I looked it was, to coin a proper scientific quote "****ing hot"!!!
Stuck on a 12 hr day turn in the Control Room to day, our bloody AIr-Con has FAILED!
In central Germany here, got to 38 degrees on Wednesday, predicted to be 39 tomorrow (but predicted to feel like 46).
I have been getting up early in the morning and getting some exercise in before work this week while it is a little cooler than later in the day.Messed up today, took much longer than expected to sort out a shockwiz and didn't get to ride until 2pm, bailed after just 30 mins at it was knocking on for 35
Got on train in Glasgow in a temperate 21 deg at 1040 this morning.....got off in Euston at 1530 in a rather hot 33 deg. An ice cold bar stop, met up with daughter who’s off to India tonight for 3 weeks and then found our way out to a very lucky online find s****y apartment in West docklands. A stonking Italian, supplemented by a few large GnTs and a walk along the riverside to Canary Wharf and back. Boys and Boss now settled in front of the telly, while I scoff a cold beer and marvel that the AC has a lovely 20 deg inside while it’s still 26 ****ing degrees outside ! 4 days of touristy family days coming, and cannae wait ! I’m here regularly with work but never for fun, so bring on the sunshine and beer 🍺
Nice and fresh in the west this afternoon.
Friday was 3 hrs strimming,ear protection, goggles and heavy trousers followed by 5 hours of mowing, 500 series Briggs and straton plus tractor mower , in Sainsbury- north Cotswolds.
It's a steep physical garden at the best of times.
On Friday it was a vile sweaty thankless place to be .
Edit, my body's thermostat is faulty and anythink over 12° and I suffer.
I spent the day in a corrugated tin shed. With two forges going full blast. 4 litres of water and numerous cups of tea drunk but only one tiny little bright yellow wee.
Tomorrow sees the start of a cooler week Dahn Sarf, hurrah.
