We spent yesterday afternoon at a canal-side pub. It was thoroughly enjoyable and quite warm. The beer went down well! |

I used to hate office work on the real hot days,the aircon would usually be inadequate and you'd swelter. But the worst I remember was the summer of '76. I was working on flight line for aircraft, it was awful. You couldn't even touch the aircraft without getting burned. We had a Shackleton that we were installing radio and radar in and we ended up running a long plastic tube through the fuselage, front to back and connected a ground cooling unit to it. Wherever anyone was working they simply cut a hole in the tube and had their own localised cool spot. - It was even suggested that we change our hours to miss the late afternoon heat. |

Just checked the weather forecast. The minimum temperature is dropping to 15c tonight, with very little breeze; a nice sweaty, sleepless night for all! |

I don't know about anyone else, but the hot weather is getting a bit much now - I'm starting to find the heat a bit oppressive. |

Yes, I'm even more short tempered than normal... Or so I'm told! |

Thankfully, my place is quite cool (north facing), so I have some relief from the heat. |

Ours faces north too, it definitely makes a difference. |

Managed to find a shady spot in the beer garden of my favourite pub this afternoon. Now back at my place with the windows open - still too hot for me to want to eat, though. |

We stopped in today, it was far too hot to take the dog anywhere. Mrs R is doing a Beef salad tonight, but we won't eat until later when it's cooled a bit. |

Had poached salmon & salad for lunch. As I'm not hungry, I've got a nice bottle of wine on the go, and having a bit of a '80s retrofest thanks to Youtube. |

I guess they'll be pretty hit and miss, but it'll be rather unpleasant if you get caught in one. |

None in the south of the county so far... |

According to the weather radar we're in for rain in about 15 minutes. The evening dog walk may be put back a little. |
